Does AW5 support variable pointers? What I would like to do is have
pointers to list locations.

Lets say you have a list of scores like
QuizScores:=Array(0,0,1)
QuizScores[1]:=80
QuizScores[2]:=60
QuizScores[3]:=75
etc...
I want to be able to say MostRecentScore:=QuizScores[ListCount
(QuizScores)] to always address the last position in the list.
It doesn't have to be that complicated. The sort of functionality that
I am looking for would support
A=5
B=A (perpetually)
Display B: {B} would show 5.
A=7
Display B: {B} would show 7.

Is this possible?
