Details

This property is used to pass the file data to some other object that may need this data. This way, the "separation of labor" is maintained between the objects. The romfile. object opens the ROM file (romfile.open) and passes the pointer to this file (through romfile.offset) to another object that requires this information.

For illustration of use, see lcd.setfont and wln.boot.
