How do I define aliases to specific bytes within a word array on the BASIC Stamp II?
The BASIC Stamp II uses a very relaxed and flexible indexing scheme when it comes to arrays of RAM space. When trying to define aliases in this way it is best to view the entire RAM space as one array of word, byte, nibble and bit registers. The BASIC Stamp II organizes variables in the RAM space from largest entities (word declarations) to smallest entities (bit declarations), regardless of the order you define them, to be most efficient. The relaxed nature of indexing allows a user to cross array boundaries at will, or by accident, quite easily.
