  Description
 
  Loads an indirect value of type <t> onto the stack. The top two words on
  the stack are taken to be a far pointer. The increment <n> is used to
  address a field in a data structure.
 
  Pseudocode equivalent:
 
  lp = (char far *)PopL() + <n>;
  Push<t>(*lp);
 
  This statement can be generated during a comparison involving a far
  pointer, as follows:
 
  *lpw = 5;
  if (*lpw != 5)           /* generates LdifWb */
