[] and {} are different types of PEEK -> PEEK WORD and PEEK LONG.
you should find info on them in the docs under 'peek'.

{_constant} will have disappeared now as it is a peek in the lowmem
addresses of the mac and so taboo. see alain's article on
'converting to carbon' at :
<http://www.stazsoftware.com/carbon/>
for examples of code to use instead.

as to the #IF construct, that is -- for me --
a conditional compile that will be resolved at compile time,
telling the compiler what code to add -- or not -- depending
on the compile target that you have chosen. it is not
to be confused with the 'passing an address'.

i'm sure that both of these are documented.
