Ok, so they are evaluated before everything else.

Curious though (I can see that the "." is not an operator (it was not 
what got me started anyway), but the ^ ?
It is the same kind (just reverse) of the @, so why is one an operator, 
and the other not?


The reason I did get to that,  is because I have to reproduce the 
behaviour (for fpdebug).
And when scanning/evaluating a pascal expression/statement, it works 
well to handle the "." (and also []()^) as operator. So that is haw the 
"." ended on the list.
