oRAM is an advanced concept and, AFAIK, the internal use of RAM is not
documented. There are plenty of caution notes that suggest using this
object is a bad idea.

Since you are not looking for persistence, you can simply create an
array of oBytes like:

Dim Things(3) as new oByte
Dim Serial as new oSerialPort

sub main()
Things(1) = 13
Things(2) = 14
Things(3) = 15
If Things(3) - Things(2) + Things(1) = 14 then
Serial.String = "OK" + chr$(10) + chr$(13)
else
Serial.String = "OOPS" + chr$(10) + chr$(13)
end if
Serial.String = STR$(Things(2)) + chr$(10) + chr$(13)
end sub

You can also use oBuffer but it isn't as intuitive as simply creating
an array.

OTOH, every oByte requires 2 bytes of object memory and there are only
86 bytes to start with.

If you do want persistence, try oEEPROM.
