No, what you should do is:

> PRINT FN WhatText(2, aPointer); aPointer.nil%
> INPUT FN WhatText(2, -1); aPointer.nil%

(note: that is for integers. If the value was a long, you'd use
aPointer.nil&, if a single-precision real, use aPointer.nil! etc). I won't
comment on using INPUT instead of EDIT FIELD...
