So, you are saying that PowerBASIC has *no* provisions to accomodate the
passing of records for modification defined in a TYPE???
What do I need do to to reference the element *and* make
modifications to it from within a SUB? QuickBASIC doesn't have this
problem, frankly I am suprised that PowerBASIC can't deal with
this.
The only way around this is to jocky the pointer as in the following:
x$ = t.str
SUB x$
t.str = x$
There's got to be a more elegant way.
Isn't there?
