  The @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 generates an address of an item.
  so lets break this down.

  Cells is being treated like a pointer and
thus the use of ^ meaning that you are
fetching data via the pointer which is like
a road map giving directions of where the
start of the data which makes up the object
"CELLS" resides in.
    Since it's obvious that Cells must not
be a pointer already to start with, using the
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 infront will generate a pointer address of that
object.
    and the use of the [0] is like any other
array from that point on.
  it will simply use the Pointer address as the
starting base with the an offset of what
ever in the [?] to calculate the distant to
move from the start of the pointer.
