Either there is some error I'm stupidly overlooking or some quirk in this
program code.  If I took out all references to the fifth item in the 
tructure
it would show the two characters for the State at the end and finish.  But, 
s
it is you can see that following the two character State name this program
will immediately continue with the characters of the zip code and then also
put in the zip code on the next line.  
   I'm compiling on a 486/133 with Borland version 3.0 compiler.  What is
causing this?
   Many thanks in advance.  I know my face will be red when I learn why.
