    Allocated space in memory and an atom value that points to it.

    Good thing about Euphoria is you make that choice,

    for instance a very basic example:

    Structures:

    constant rectLeft = 0,
                  rectTop  = 4,
                  rectRight  = 8,
                  rectBottom = 12,
                 SIZEOF_RECT = 16

    atom rect
    rect = allocate(SIZEOF_RECT)

    now rect is the location in memory where rectLeft starts and will be
SIZEOF_RECT in bytes.

    example:

    to fill the structure rectTop with a value I would do this

    poke4(rect + rectTop, value) or poke4(rect + 4, value)

    I can read from the structure later if I want to retrieve the rectTop value

    peek4s(rect + rectTop) or peek4s(rect + 4)


> And how can i change the buffer.

    The above is an example of how to poke values into place

    not sure I know what it is your talking about here. perhaps someone else
will.
