Structures

[Brian Rice]

For now, you will need to write up a kind of object to stand for the  
structure and methods on it which do the setting and getting and  
action.

Of course there is also the problem of memory allocation, and it occurs  
to me the ExternalResource management where an id is kept and  
open/close allocates and de-allocates might be an appropriate pattern  
to use.

I may be really wrong, though, but that's one idea.
