4.1 NAMLST

This array contains the list of names of the variables which have been currently allocated space. The position of a variable's name in this list assigns a memory manager record number to the variable, i.e. the variable stored in the fifth string of this array has a memory manager record number of five. All other information relating to a variable is stored in the same record in the remainder of the memory manager arrays. When a variable is freed the name stored in NAMLST is set to the value of the string NONAME.
