There are several variable types. Byte (one register), word (2 registers),
string, floating point (using OS vars), byte or word pointers, and a list
or matrix of any of the above. They also can be set as constant,
meaning they are stored in the program instead of a temporary area,
like high scores. I don't think I missed any types of vars...

Note: I am handling list questions about HAL-IC for the next couple of
days. EggplFarms@aol.com is bogged down with hundreds of ques-
tions and beta testing requests right now and had to sign off of the
lists so as to more promptly reply to the mail. I know what I'm talking
about (mostly). Feel free to write to either of us or to Retupmoc7
