If this only were easy...    You may be asking for the wrong thing.
One may be pretty once. But two offsets one make two.

The point here is that you define a structure consisting of a few
fields. When the record contains exactly that structure, things are
obvious. But what if there is some fixed portion in front of it.
Suppose the structure starts at column 17 in the record. I would think
you specify that as
  qualify xyz 17  member field1 ...  member field2 ....
The 17 matches what you would have done with spec input ranges.

But the way it now works is that you must specify  16 because there is
also an offset 1 from the structure itself. At least, as far as I
understand it. That's why the Piper and I disagree on this. Right now
I can correct this by starting my fields in the structure at 0 rather
than 1, unless he takes that away.
