Directives are words of special significance for the mikroBasic, but unlike other
reserved words, appear only in contexts where user-defined identifiers cannot
occur.
You cannot define an identifier that looks exactly like a directive.
Absolute directive specifies the starting address in RAM for variable (if variable is
multi-byte, higher bytes are stored at consecutive locations).
Directive absolute is appended to the declaration of variable:
dim rem as byte absolute $22
' Variable will occupy 1 byte at address $22
dim dot as word absolute $23
' Variable will occupy 2 bytes at addresses $23 and $24
