Pointer to bug question

Hi All,

This is driving me nuts!

Native Call question. I have a Pointer ($ppSessionInf).

It points to a structure of $pCount bytes.

How do I read that into a Buf of $ my DWORD   $pCount       = 0;  bytes?

    my Pointer $ppSessionInf = Pointer.new();
    my DWORD   $pCount       = 32 times something bytes long;
    my BYTES  $Sessions      = CArray[BYTE].new( 0xFF xx $pCount );

How do I load what $ppSessionInf points to into $Sessions

    $Sessions = $ppSessionInf.deref;

Which obviously does not work.

     "Internal error: unhandled target type"

AAAA HHHH !!!!

Many thanks,
-T
