Somewhere in some other BASIC before (not sure which) was a function that gave the memory address of the variable. I remember poking Z80 into string variables on the trs80, but finding the address wasn't easy. Maybe I searched memory for a known key-string first? A$="FindThis89ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF"

QuickBASIC was Y=VARPTR(X)
Never seen so many other ways, but anything that works is fine.
We may already have a way for finding variables I am unaware of.
Can we locate the READ data pointer? Quite another question.
What feature is missing that wants direct access to this pointer?
