[Gambas-user] Help to make on the fly pointer to various result sets

[Jeff Halverson]

By the way, where do you find information like this?  After being
informed of the wonderful Result[String] format, I exhaustively searched
through the Gambas documentation and did not see any mention of it.  Is
this a new style that is not yet documented, of I have missed finding
something in the documentation?
