Thanks. Ive done as you suggested and it all works. 

As the way i had coded it before where i was returning the structure
each time worked, I am assuming this is a better way to code it (seeing 
as you guys have suggested it and i know diddly squat :-)

Why is this so?
Is it just because i do not have the extra overhead of
passing/returning the structure for each function call or is there
something more fundamental?

Excuse my ignorance but this is my first C program after hello world
:-)

Thanks again.

Martin
