Greetings, Fellow BBoarders:

I am posting this for a co-worker, although I am curious about it as well.
It seems like a very simple question, something that should be resolved
by the documenation, but I can't find anything about it anywhere.

----------------------------Question Follows:-----------------------

Using Micropower Pascal, what is the correct syntax for declaring a 
variable and initializing it in the same statement?  Can this be done?  
The documenation doesn't seem to mention this.  Maybe it is only valid
in certain dialects.  The following are examples of the idea in other 
languages.  What is the Pascal syntax for this?

Fortran:
	INTEGER I /5/		!Long time since I wrote this stuff

Modula-2:
	VAR i : INTEGER := 56;	(* Looks right	*)

Ada:
	Max_Employees : integer range 0..20 := 0;


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance for your help.  You may reply either to the net or
to me personally.

George
