[AccessD] Data Types (was - Global Variable)

This brings back a lot of old memories from my C class. It was night school
taught by a guy who did equipment controller programming for IIRC Plexus.

He spent a lot of time teaching us how to write very optimized code which
unfortunately, when completed, no one could read without rediagramming it
all.

Recalling that whole fiasco reminds me that nothing I do is so important
that I should try to improve the speed above and beyond that of the
compiler(interpreter), I should just write code that is maintainable. Thanks
for the kick in the (memory) pants!

required to deal with it is created by an interpreter, which is in turn
created by a compiler.  That compiler has optimizations which will do it's
best to pack memory into words etc.
