You've been reposting this on a frequent base all the time for 2 weeks 
now - and everytime you've been told (by me and others) to use the 
module struct. So - how about actually trying so and come back if you 
hit the wall with that for whatever reason instead of unsuccsessfully 
shoehorning arrays int something you think they're supposed to be? 
Which, BTW, they aren't in _any_ language, as the are homogenous by 
nature and only pointer-tricks in C can get you around that.
