Setting rubln in DCAL for Delphi

In original DCAL macros I set Datacad to display a rubberband line between the last point entered and a newpoint when using getpoint() to get user input using the line 'rubln := true;'. In D4D the variable rubln has been changed to a function that apparently returns the value of some other variable.

Does anyone know how to set rubln to true?

Assign to rubln^.

rubln^ := true;

This, and some other D4D 'equivalents' are documented in my notated version of the DCAL manual. See http://www.dhsoftware.com.au/DCALManual.pdf

(as noted in another post, the notations are far from complete, but I think there is enough there to be of some use)
