Okay...  explaining protocalls...
Protocalls are statements that tells the compiler what to expect if there
are more than one function (which is main) the types of variables and
return-type to be expected so the memory spots are reserved for them.
  ();
return type - tells what type of value the function is returning
        void - not returning anything
        char - returning a character
        int - returning a integer
        float - returning a real number (have decimals)
        double - returning a longer real number
  (These are the common ones)
function name - the function call name, where a function uses to call this
        function.  (it could be just about anything other than reserved
        words)
parameter list - lists the variables passed into the function and their
        datatypes...   (datatypes are the five listed above)
I sure hope this helps a bit...  if you have any questions, mail here
or E-mail me at SpewMuffin@juno.com... and I'll be happy to explain in more
detail if you're still confused.
