Question about Type and Each command

Thanks for reply.

So mychair1 and mychair2 are pointers to newly created elements of ONE list. Then, the TYPE command DOES create a list and the NEW command adds elements to that list.

I thought the TYPE command was more like STRUCT in C and that a list was created by NEW command.

;IT CREATES A LIST CALLED chair
Type chair
 Field colour$
 Field Height%
End Type

;IT ADDS TWO ELEMENTS TO LIST chair AND ASSIGNS POINTERS
;TO VARIABLES mychair1 AND mychair2 .
mychair1.chair = New chair
mychair2.chair = New chair

mychair1\colour$="brown"
cont=1

For mychair1.chair= Each chair
 Print "ELEMENT: "+cont+" - "+mychair1\colour$
 e$=Input()
 cont=cont+1
Next

End

It's a bit different from C or other Basic dialects. It can be a bit confusing if one knows how lists work in C. In PureBasic for example, it would be:

;IT DEFINES A NEW TYPE
Structure chair
 colour$
 height.l
EndStructure

OpenConsole()

;IT CREATES TWO LISTS OF chair TYPE
NewList mychair1.chair()
NewList mychair2.chair()

;IT ADDS ONE ELEMENT TO LIST mychair1
AddElement(mychair1()) 
;IF I NEED A POINTER TO THAT ELEMENT:
;*p=AddElement(mychair1()) 

mychair1()\colour$="brown"
cont=1

ResetList(mychair1()) 
While NextElement(mychair1()) 
 PrintN("ELEMENT: "+Str(cont)+" - "+mychair1()\colour$)
 e$=Input()
 cont=cont+1
Wend

End
