Jussi,

firstly, thanks for the response. I probably don't need to be using an
array of Structs - considering how sparsely these will be populated, I can
probably get by with using a multi-dimensional array of strings and then
parsing the strings to obtain complex data from within them.

This was more of an exercise in better understanding how Gambas works. Your
explanation makes sense, so when necessary, I'll use the Class approach
rather than fall-back onto Structs.

Cheers.
