DEFtype Declaration Statements
 
Use the BASIC statements DEFINT, DEFLNG, DEFSNG, DEFDBL, DEFCUR and DEFSTR
to declare the types for certain variable names. By using one of these
DEFtype statements, you can specify that all variables starting with a
given letter or range of letters are one of the elementary variable
types, without using the trailing declaration character.
 
DEFtype statements only affect variable names in the module in which they
appear. Remember a DEFtype statement affects all variables starting with
the given letter or range of letters.
