Chris:

   If you are talking about "C" the &Var means the address of the
   variable.
   So then you have to do this.

   atom Var
   Var = allocate(4)
   poke4(Var,somevalue)

   Then if you pass Var what is ever poked into its location
   will be available to the routine that is receiving the parameter.
