With best regards to Caveat, who knows what he is talking about.

Sudeep,

There is a "struct" concept in Gambas, but it is not really a good idea
to use it unless you know what you are doing. 

But for the sake of sanity:

1) structs must be public, which essentially means you have absolutely
no protection, so 
        Public Struct {Type}
          XVal As Float ' no not a Double, we have never heard of it
          YVal As Float ' ditto but perhaps you might like to read the
        help on datatypes
          laseron as String ' Boolean, what is happening here, maybe
        "perhaps" is a valid value
          mode As String ' great, so mode "Elephant" works here too
        End Struct 

2) Good luck.

3) Either read the help or get out of my mailbox.
