John, nothing personal, but I love when people rationalize bugs in software.
When the Compiler offers this option that means it should work properly when
making calls to the kernel. Let's not use the implicit conversion rules as an
excuse to this end , and here is the reply I got from Metroworks
HEY!
We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix. Our Palm lead
was for several days sick this week, so we are a bit behind. We apologize
for the delay.
Thanks for the bug report!
We'll let you know as soon as we have a fix.

However, I must admit your struct trick was clever way of getting around the
problem. I kind of found another way but yours is more elegent (readable).
Thanks again
