[fpc-pascal] Initializing Arrays?

[Joseph Montanez]

I've already read that its not built into pascal but how do I get around
this? If I have:

contacts : array [1 .. 256] of JSMContact;

the only way to initialize it is?

    with contacts[1] do
    begin
        Name := '';
        PhoneNo := '';
    end;

Also if I am passing a var to a procedure how would use a pointer as
parameter?

{ Wont compile :( }

procedure JSMContactAdd(contact : ^JSMContact);

JSMContactAdd(@contacts[1]);
