If you only have one particular type, I think you might be able to pass an array? Just reference the array variable (I think) and beyond that I don't know where you go with it (that is, how you get the array contents on the ML side). Another possibility might be to create a string variable, then use VARPTR to get it's address...then break it up into "fields" and pass everything as part of that string - ie, say you set a string to be 9 characters long, but you wanted to pass a name and a number, you could do something like A$="Andrew123" - of course, you'd have to split it apart then parse each portion, and fields would be "fixed length". Or maybe you could reserve the space in a similar manner, then use the VARPTR address and knowing the size, POKE the values you need? It'd be something like string-packing for POKEing in an ML program in BASIC, but instead you'd use it as a means to pass parameters to your ML program... These are all ideas/guesses - I've never tried any of 'em... Andrew L.
