The VT05's dynamic storage was a PMOS shift register; the delays associated with manipulating the data in the shift register resulted in the VT05 requiring fill characters after each line feed ( as compared to contemporaneous hard copy terminals which required fill characters after each carriage return ).

Coral 66 is a general-purpose programming language based on ALGOL 60, with some features from Coral 64, JOVIAL, and real-time and embedded applications and for use on computers with limited processing power, including those limited to fixed point arithmetic and those without support for dynamic storage allocation.

The pointer would reside in dynamic storage and could be altered at will after the first pass to bypass the OPEN ( having to load a pointer first instead of a direct branch & link to the subroutine would add N instructions to the path length but there would be a corresponding reduction of N for the unconditional branch that would no longer be required ).
