Use function pointers:

mydisp() = Print()

Shouldn't you use BankBuf(bank)? No need to use `TBank ptr` ??

For function pointers you just define a dummy function pointer variable like:

Local Myfunc()

and then you equate it to a real function with

Myfunc()=Function 'without the brackets

You can then convert the function pointer into a different point using:

Local MyFuncB:Byte Ptr=Byte Ptr(Myfunc)
Local MyFuncI:Int Ptr=Int Ptr(MyFuncB)
