Reserved word "EXT"

W1 VAR WORD EXT

W2 VAR WORD


Can somebody explain the difference between W1 and W2?

All I know is that "EXT" is reserved word, in the PBP manual, there is no mention on how to uses it nor its function .

Thank you for your answer.

The EXT (external) modifier.

Thank you Darrel.. very clear indeed!

Strange that the forum search function didn't show me this thread.

In my opinion, the forum search button has a flaw. There are plenty of 3 letter acronyms, and PicBasic commands, but the search tool can only search 4 letters and higher. That's one of the cool things about Darrels "Better Search Tools", it searches any number of letters.
