Well its good for restoring the data to any array or variable at any time really.



Just an example (Yes LBFN, this is from berzerk )

ok so..... (still very much confused)

when restore is used it brings the computer to the data of whatever you put behind the label?

and then read is used to store the next available data into the array?

any tutorials?

edit: ok played with it a little bit and figured out how to use it but my next question is what happens if you just leave it. will it mess with anyother memory in the program, or computer?

in other words it wont accidentilly point to a diffrent variable and change it will it?

No, the DATA you have in that program can only be seen by that program. When your program ends everything in memory to run that program should be cleared automatically. Think of it like a book... the DATA stored can only be seen if it's READ and RESTORE is a bookmark.
