i'm trying to write a structure that has a pstring with a max length of 63... this would be a lot easier if there where any mention on structures in the language ref.
There's no built-in support for an inline pstring - only for a pointer to a pstring. You will have to declare the field as String * 64, then use ChrB and AscB to store the length in the first byte. I suggest giving the field some cryptic name, then using a pair of methods that extend the structure to get and set the value of the field; this way you can hide away all the length byte code. Then add this feature request to your watch list:
