That I understand, Bob.  That's why I use them.  In fact, if you try to
use it without assigning a pointer, chances are you'll be looking at an
invalid address and will get an MCH3601 or something similar.

Now on to the question I asked <grin>.

I'm trying to make sure that, for whatever bizarre reason, the compiler
isn't allocating a data structure anyway.  Common sense says it won't,
but common sense can't always be trusted.
