The Naming Functions

The naming functions store the name, retrieve the name, display the name, or return the address of the name. The function Nameit() accepts string constants, VMatrix references, or string objects. The proper functions are called to assign the name to the matrix.

The function Getname() returns a string type object containing the name of the matrix. This can be used in concatenation and assignment with other strings.

The function StringAddress() returns the address of the matrix name. This function is used in the Writeb and Writea functions where an address is used. This function may not be of much use otherwise. You should not manipulate the name directly, even though you know its base address. Let the string class member functions do it for you.
