Hi Agnes,

>if yo go for the TYPE instead of PEMSTAT why not VARTYPE?

Tore gave you the main reason. Also, if you plan to use addprop, the variable name is usually
already in a string, so reusing that string like

lcProp = "_screen.Height"
if  TYPE(m.lcProp)=="U"
   adpproperty(_screen, m.lcProp, 100)
endif

makes the code less brittle than typing it with and without " or going other dynamic ways -
only a slight benefit, but I am prone to "finger stuttering" - see the line inside the if ;-)

regards
