Hi everyone,
 you probably have more important things to do than answer my question, but
I am curious about the way I call this toolbox function.

FN BITTST

I use it like this

LOCAL FN PointerToBooleanString$(thePointer&,Length)'function just for
debugging
    poke @StringFromPointer$,Length*8'grab one byte for ever bit in the map
    for offset=0 to Length*8
        poke @StringFromPointer$+offset+1, FN BITTST(#thePointer&,offset)+48
    next'zero is ascii 48, so this gives me a quick way to see binary
END FN=StringFromPointer$

What I am wondering is, what is the # sign for?
Thanks.
Anders
