Pointer to the list? You are thinking too low-level here. Something needs to have a list of cell locations, but that is implementation detail that the user-level model shouldn't know about. The user code should be written at as high a level as possible so it can be written in C or Scheme, preferably in a declarative style where that is possible. The goal here is to eventually specify much of the layout and model in scheme. dave
