So I would put the new when I declare it?
//Excluding structure definition for space
int main(void) {
   maptile *local_map = new maptile[9][21];
}
or could I just put:
 
   maptile new local_map[9][21];
I have the program working with the memory now...just gets mixed up 
sometimes, I am wondering if that is because I only use the 64k stack 
space...Maybe this way it will keep it straight.
Thanks alot for the help!  Since I am writing this message, might as well 
include this too, Turbo C++ doesn't come with Turbo Assembler does it?  Does 
it come with an Assembler at all?  I have a book on Serial communications in 
C/C++ that has assembly code, but my version of Turbo C++ doesn't have it.  
If it should, then I got ripped, since I bought it at a software 
store...Egghead I believe.
Well, thanks for the input.
