That sounds fine. I had read about the access method using struct.(i)
but I had missed a possibility to get the index from the name.

By the way. Is anyone using structures this way, or do you prefer
something similar to the hash_table class, which I found on RSI's website.
Or do you use even different things for associative storage?

Thanks a lot,

Thomas
