   Hi folks!  Trying to come up with a utility for BBBS/NT and trying to convert   
   one set of records from the C headers to PowerBASIC and currently have the   
   following type definition:   
      
       TYPE NodeRecord   
           Resv AS WORD             ' 0-1   
           bastatus AS BYTE         ' 2   
           zstatus AS BYTE          ' 3   
           SPEED AS INTEGER         ' 4   
           time AS WORD             ' 8-9   
           endtime AS WORD          ' 10-11   
           nick AS STRING * 10      ' 12-22   
           sex AS INTEGER           ' 23   
           realname AS STRING * 30  ' 24-53   
           idle AS INTEGER          ' 54-58   
       END TYPE   
      
   The code I have compiles and runs, but I am having issues getting the records   
   to display properly.  Also, what would I need to do to get the application to   
   cycle through nodes 1 to however many the sysop wants and display each record?   
   For I need a FOR...NEXT loop with the GET # statement within it?
