### Initialize

(Under construction.)

#### Synopsis

         procedure Initialize (var Aynthing);

#### Description

`Initialize` does all necessary initializations for the parameter (e.g., setting of string and schema discriminants, and object VMT pointers, initialization of file variables). This is normally done automatically at the start of the lifetime of a variable, so you need to call `Initialize` only in special situations, e.g. when you allocate a dynamic variable with `GetMem` rather than `New`.

#### Conforming to

`Initialize` is a Borland Delphi extension.

#### Example

#### See also

Finalize, New, GetMem.
