RE: How to use AVars and AFiles
Either and both.
Make sure the app is running, then do AVars("YourAppVarName"):=Gasses or AFiles("YourFileName"):=GasVars The difference comes in the way you interact with them. A file cannot be used and accessed directly. You will need to store into a variable to use it. The file *will not* take up the limited system RAM you have except for the instant you are using it. A variable will *always* stay in memory and be taking that RAM even when your app is not in use. LOCAL mylist; mylist:=AFiles("YourFileName"); mylist(1) ... vs YourVarName(1) ... So basically it boils down to how large your variables are. If you are trying to store 3MB of data for example, a file would most likely be the way to go.
