Thanks Andy and Bernard, that worked. But I don't really understand the
syntax. Doesn't "p->nb" mean "the address of the element nb that's in
the structure pointed to by pointer p" ?? So adding a '&' means, take
the address of that address...  passing the address of the address of
the data....does that make sense ?! :-/

Brrr, I am very confused now...
