First I fixed that.  It worked wonderfully once I stopped appending.  Duh.

That I knew, I just didn't have any clue HOW to do it, so I went with what
I thought I could handle (though even then as we can see I didn't quite
master it.) :)

Question on bool, since I don't have any c99 reference stuff handy: Is it
simply a 1 or 0 return?  Should I convert anything that is using int for a
yes/no or true/false to bool instead?

Other than my own lack of skill that is! :)  Thanks a lot for this
function, I'm trying to see what it's doing with the various checks as I
suspect it's very useful for me to learn how to p[roperly loop in the
future.  Saves a LOT of lines of code.

(p.s. I'm having problems getting it to actually compile.  Keeps telling
me I have multiple definitions of the const char . . . I'll keep working
on it though.)
