+#X text 29 34 "Pointer" is a storage object like "float" \, except
+that the thing stored is the location of a scalar somewhere. You can
+send a pointer a value (perhaps from another "pointer" object). The
+right inlet takes pointers and simply stores them. A bang in the left
+outputs the pointer \, and a pointer in the left both sets and outputs
+the value.;
+#X text 29 132 The value of a pointer can either indicate a real scalar
+\, or else the "head" (before the first element) of the list. This
+allows you to point to an empty list \, and also \, to "append" a scalar
+to the beginning of the list.;
+#X text 29 191 Pointers are "safe": if you delete a scalar pointers
+to it are marked invalid.;
