Bookmarked for future reference.  Looking forward to the next several
parts in this series...

I've browsed the source several times, but I had not looked at these
files before.  I recall reading one README?  Clearly I need to do more
digging there... thanks again!

That's good to know.  I've been developing in 5 for a while so that's no
issue.  I was aware of ext_skel and that was usually the reference that
I had heard before.  <gets_out_note_pad>Yet another tool that I need to

Seen that a time or two before, but I went ahead and bookmarked it as well.

For others in the same boat as me, I am currently reading the tutorial
from the following link:

http://pw1.netcom.com/~tjensen/ptr/pointers.htm

So far so good... if you are like me and don't understand all of those
*ptr's all over the place.  I also received an email from someone
(off-list) that suggested I read the book "C Programming Language (2nd
Edition)".  You can get it over at Amazon:

Thanks for all of your suggestions!
