Maybe because it is essentially initializing the variable. As I understand it, p = Null is the same as p = 0. Maybe that's the reason?



No - all objects are Null when they are created. p=Null is effectively 'unlinking' the variable p from the object it references. Hence subsequent calls to FlushMem would delete the object previously referenced by p.
