Paul,

There is a list of common types in the Reference Manual at the DIM statement.
The other types are:
- Apple defined types: generally structures defined in the Universal
Headers. Unfortunately, not all the structures are declared in the
FB^3 header files. The most important have been translated to FB
records though.
- Aliased types: many variable types are merely aliases of another
basic type.
All those types are not listed anywhere in the FB doc, since
theoretically they are explained in the Apple documentation.
What you can do with FB^3 is to perform a search on the Header files
to see if a given type is recognized. If not, you can define it
whether with the BEGIN RECORD/END RECORD structure or the #DEFINE statement.
