For others in the same boat as me, I am currently reading the tutorial from the following link: http://pw1.netcom.com/~tjensen/ptr/pointers.htm So far so good... if you are like me and don't understand all of those *ptr's all over the place. I also received an email from someone (off-list) that suggested I read the book "C Programming Language (2nd Edition)". You can get it over at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0131103628/qid=1111000153/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-6998313-1583146?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Thanks for all of your suggestions!
