I believe internally Powerpro variables are stored as strings. Sometimes those strings are handles for more complex structures created by plugins, such as the map or vec plugin. As a functional matter, what is in a variable depends on what has been assigned to it. For example after the statement: var=vec.create(10) the variable "var" can be treated as vector. After using var="something else" var ceases to refer to the vector. But unless destroyed, the vector continues to consume memory, even though you can no longer access it as var. So before using var="something else" you should use vec.destroy(var) Hope that helps.
