Indeed that's what it's doing. It's strange as an array syntax though which suggests there's a range of uniform elements, when in reality there's just a pointer to a single location. 

I think the more correct Pascal way to do it would be define an array type and pointer to that type and then  subscript that instead of the C-style way.
