So, arrays are like when you define something as, for example:
char *array[5] = {"One","Two","Three","Four","Five"}, right?  I only ask
because I have no idea what these things mean.  I did, however finally
figure out what is meant by 'pointer' !

Yeah, I tried for a while to figure that out and gave up in the end!!
Insted, I just included a brief statement: 'Don't add trailing backslash!'
Well, works enough for me. 
 CC> if it ends in '\'       don't add one
 CC> if it doesn't end in '\'
 CC> add one only if the string is not empty 
Well, thanks for the time and the tips..  I'm {Slowly} on my way
to comprehension of the language!  TTYL,  Wade
