Hi Neil,

You asked:

NH>TT> 2.2:   Why doesn't "struct x { ... }; x thestruct;" work?
NH>TT>
NH>TT> A:   C is not C++.

NH>That seems like a Microsoft-type answer (correct without saying
NH>anything).  Anyway, am I correct in assuming that all that's needed in
NH>the above is the addition of the word "struct" before the
"x" in the
NH>second statement?

It's complete enough for me.

NH>TT> 6.9:   Someone explained to me that arrays were really just
NH>TT>  constant pointers.
NH>TT>
NH>TT> A:   An array name is "constant" in that it cannot
be assigned to,
NH>TT>    but an array is *not* a pointer.

NH>In the code:

NH>int a[10];
NH>a = 10;

NH>Doesn't a[0] now hold the value 10?

No. As the answer given says, it's an illegal operation. The compiler
should report an error. BC 3.1 gives the error "Lvalue required". Try it
with your copiler and see.
