Dale, the WHERE stuff I should have left out of the example. The way I use it, I #define something before including the header if and only if the module that's including it is the one where I want the space for the variable to be; then in the header file I define "WHERE" to be just a blank (well, a comment actually) if so; otherwise, WHERE gets defined to be "extern"… Your example of char *'s is quite clear, thanks… now, how would I go about setting up an array of pointers to arrays of char *'s ? thanks for taking a look at that mess….
