of it on some other platforms but so far it looks like that is reserved
for a wizard elite somewhere and nobody is saying how to get there.

I seem to remember being able to declare something like:
MyArray = Array of Byte;
Useing "MyArray" as an easy way to get a pointer to a memory location.
Now if I do something similar: tQPixelArray = Array of tQPixel; I get a
compiler error telling me it Expected [ and got Array.
Is there any way

If I have this type:
Type tMyRec = Record X, Y: Integer; End;
and can do this:
Const ARec : tMyRec = (X:12; Y:25);
why can't I do this?
var
AnotherRec: tMyRec;

AnotherRec := (X:12; Y:25);
end.

If the function you wish to call is apart of another unit you can call
i.g.:
UnitName.Close(sin);
UnitName.Close(sout);
** That may work from within the same unit but I'm not certain. **
Free pascal is great about name spaces and allowing you to specify which
function you wish to call.
