RE: (50g) FNINVARS: Object finder for couch hackers
Both the 48SX and 48GX do the same thing, returning "4.5 + n chars" for a VAR whose name is n chars long.

Interestingly, both the 48SX Programmers Reference and 48GX AUR say:

"If the argument is a global name, then the size represents the name and its contents, while the checksum represents the contents only. The size of the name alone is (3.5 + 2 x n), where n is the number of characters in the name."

It seems unlikely that all these manuals are incorrect... presumably the older ones were corrected by the 50g AUR, yet that one does not agree with these simple observations either.

Ideas anyone?
