All of the books I've been reading provide examples of code using it, but none have explained the purpose.

Hi Kile,

It indicate that it's a memory variable. The reason for it goes all the way back, I think, to the original dBase which had only 12 work areas (A through L). These days you don't see it as much with Hungarian notation being in favor.
