I stumbled across a better way to store and manipulate all my internal data.
It will get me away from doing binary searches which I'm afraid will get slower when I set things up to support viewing databases.
Right off the bat this new scheme will allow me to easily set up the option for each cell having its own foreground and background colors. It will also simply my internal coding which will make it easier to maintain.
And....POINTERs are my friends!
To convert may take a while so don't give up on me.
