Component creation from Leigh

[QMESAR]

Hi All.

I have to apologize the old man is losing his brain
I am folloing the document(tutorial from Leigh/Dave) to create your own component however I seam to get stuck on an issue which is for your guys an automatic/general knowledge thing.
I seam to not get it in the ReadINT Makro the i2c1:Mater_RxByte(0) is fine this I get however the returned value is into variable .HB and .LB which I suppose is high byte and low byte but where did we set them up ?
This makro has an parameter "Address" and a Return value of UINT which is clear as the .LB and .HB is made into a UINT that is eventually returned by the macro but where is .HB and .LB

Please help I am lost with this ) I feel terrible)

It looks like .HB and .LB are local variables of the macro. Any variable starting with a dot ('.') is local to the current macro. (So not available in any other macro or the main code)
