You probably want to use the input structure before the
function is run for the first time, which is tricky at best if
the named structure is defined in the function .pro-file .
The right place to put it is in an inputstruct__define.pro file.
Look up "Automatic Structure Definition" in the online help.

Have fun,

It is indeed. You won't regret it, really.
