In indirect reference, the memory table entry whose contents are to be displayed
is not specified directly: the contents of the specified numeral memory table
entry (numeric value) are regarded as the number of a character string memory
table entry, and the contents of this character string memory table entry are dis-
played. Note that more processing time is required for indirect reference that for
direct reference.
