RE: Trigger parameter prototypes

qualified means that you refer to subfields using the data structure
name as well as the subfield name.  so you refer to
"trigbuf.oldRcdOffset" instead of just "oldRcdOffset"

based means that it's based on a pointer, in this case a pointer
named "dummy".  Barbara did this because she had a "trigBufType" data
structure and a "trigBuf" data structure, and she didn't want to
reserve memory for the "trigBufType".  (It's just there to use as a "type
definition", not to put data into)
