need to compare pointers

hi I am going through a list of items twice

for i.item=each item
if it.item=each item
if i\name=it\name
delete it
endif
endif
next

but I need to make sure its not comparing the exact same type instance

so I need to compare the pointer handle,

how would I do this?

EDIT- d'oh just worked it out
if i<>it

Nm I see you figured it out.
