GetMem procedure
DECLARATION: GetMem(var P : pointer; Size : word);
PURPOSE: Creates a new dynamic variable of a specified size
UNIT: System
REMARKS: Creates a new dynamic variable of a specified size, and stores
the address of the block in the specified pointer variable.
P is a pointer variable of any pointer type. Size is an
expression of word-type which specifies the size in bytes of
the new variable to allocate. This new variable can then be
referenced as P^.
NOTE: If there is not enough memory available on the heap a
runtime error will occur. See the HeapError function.
DIFFERENCES: in v3.0, Size was an integer.
