What is the difference between somePointer[0] and somePointer[1]?

here is an example that doesnt perform properly when somePointer[0] is used within an object, but works properly when outside of the object. Look at the comment inside the object and change the [0] to [1] and it works. Why?

Strict


Type TGem 
	Field id:Int 				
EndType 


Type TQue
	Global gemPtrList:TList 
	
	
	Method addPtr(n:TGem)
			If gemPtrList = Null Then gemPtrList = New TList 
			Local p:TGemPtrList = New TGemPtrList 
			p.gemPtr = Varptr n
			gemPtrList.AddLast p 	
	End Method

				'******************************************************

				Print n.gemPtr[0].toString()

	End Method

For Local i = 0 To 10

	que.addPtr(gem)
Next 
	Print "----------------outside loop"

				Print n.gemPtr[0].toString()
	Next
	Print "----------------inside loop"		
	que.showQue()
