Alain,

Thanks for the answer. I'll run the test you provided. I think I know what
I'll see.

>>>>We can envision a container as a global handle whose memory
allocation is managed by the runtime.
While such a statement is slightly inaccurate, we can however
retrieve the handle maintained for a given container variable and
why not examine its size like so:

Begin Globals
Dim gC As Container
End Globals

gC = "A"
Print Fn GetHandleSize([@gC])
gC = ""

Do
Handleevents
Until Fn Button>>>>>>>>
