What I would like to have in Lighspeed C is global register variables. It
shouldn't be too hard to implement since LS C already supports A5 and A4
based global variables. The application I'm working on has a lot of
concurrently working windows with their own variables. I'd like to have
a global pointer to the local variables in a register for faster access.

If a method exists, please tell me...if one doesn't, please consider
adding it to the wishlist. A 32K limit would not bother me at all.
