I would like to see support for binary variables in COM objects. This could be supported without breaking existing scripts like this:

Code:
; To retrieve result into binary variable:

$com(object,&binvar).result

;To pass binary variable to object:

$com(object,method,3,bstr&,&binvar)

;To pass literal text "&binvar" to object (current behaviour):

$com(object,method,3,bstr,&binvar)


This would greatly reduce the number of workarounds needed when retrieving long strings smile
