t rendered as
copies of the image data, but as pointers to the source image.
That would seem to imply a somewhat smaller RAM footprint than complete
copies, but since they are rendered throughout the field I'm not exactly
clear how much may be saved, so:
@LC Staff:
Any of you in a posi
To understand why pointers are fast you need to know
a pointer stores the address to a object like a variable
in memory and you need to know what that address is
doing.
Here is another really good lesson on pointers.

Nice resource. I'm going to go through that just fir kicks and grins.

Agreed, colin. The language and the tool should be doing the work, not
me. The compiler should be doing the work, not me.

Bliss32(Dec VMS) used periods "." for pointers. Multi dots were allowed and
gave me many a headache back in the day.
Myvar==>The the variables value
.Myvar==>Address of the variables value
..Myvar==>Address of the address to the variables value
And so on...

The difficulty with pointers and handles was that with one you could get
straight at the value you wanted, and the other you had to dereference it
first. Meaning, that you were the one who had to understand whether you were
dealing with a pointer or a handle. Computers ought to take care of

You can use something similar to pointers going one direction by using
"value", and the other way by using "do". Those are not full-on pointers,
but it does give you some indirection. While sometimes it would be nice to
have regular pointer syntax (but in a LC syntax way),
