| Hello Alberto,

|
| set P0, 3.1415926
| Q: Is this the same then, as: set P0, "3.1415926" ?

Right.

| other way too:
|
| set N0, P0
|
| This means that:
|
| set P0, "foo"
| set N0, P0
|
| will put '0' in C<N0>.
|
| Q: Why will this put '0' into N0? Is '0' the numeric value of "foo". This is
| a bit unclear.

Yes. That's the reason. I can try to explain it better...

|
| 3.
| ---------------------
| Shouldn't "destroy" be mentioned? In all docs the "new" operator is
| mentioned (I don't know if the others
| mention "destroy"). What happens when destroy gets called, are there any
| special cases?

There is a destroy command? :-)
I think I need to read a little more code.

Thanks for the corrections/ideas.

Cheers, Alberto
