Re: A85: Re: Variable types
IF you are using it in a shell it might be useful to modify the routine
which stores the pointers to the program so that it stores pointers to the
VAT entry too. Doing this will make it very easy to add a key which can be
used to move the currently selected program to another folder. Just store
the pointers to the VAT in a table like the one you are using for program
addrs, and use these addrs instead of calling VAR_GET.
