You probably mean about using global or static data.

Why suck? Because they generates somewhat bigger code? Well, it is true,
but they are quite easy to use.

Well, I give a basic idea about it in the Frequently Asked Questions list
in the TIGCC documentation. For more advanced usage of vat.h download the
ScottFree interpreter (in the archive advint.zip in TI-89 Assembly Games)
then look how these functions are used in it.
By the way, wait a bit, a new release of ScottFree is in ticalc.org
waiting queue, it will solve some major bugs, so wait for this new release
before downloading. It will appear very soon.
