    Tim, I saw you received one reply already, but I noticed something
 else I thought might be wrong, in case the first reply didn't fix all
 the problem and you still hadn't figured it out.  Or it may not be a
 problem at all; I am somewhat ignorant as yet about unions.

    Your declare prototype statement and actual function description
 have the whole union type specified as being passed, yet the actual
 call in the body of your program only passes part of the specified
 union type, the part that is another union entirely.  Shouldn't you be
 passing what you declare, or do unions (which I admit I have never used
 in PowerBASIC, and haven't studied yet in C++) work differently when
 passed to a function?
