Thank you for your help. I will take a close look at your hints.

I was in doubt if a compiled script already contains pointers to internal
objects (and external objects as well as external C-functions). Do your
hints really mean that I can store a compiled script to file, completely
shutdown my application and run the application days later using those
compiled scripts? This would mean that compiled scripts are "linked" at
runtime to objects in the engine.

Or are objects never resolved to pointers in the p-code, i.e. does the
engine always a search by name to reference an object during the execution
of the p-code?
