Hehe... Thanks! Well, I know you can use structures as parameters... BUT it doesn't solve everything... Sometimes you really want parameters... I can name a few examples...

01, When you want the sideeffects of call by reference or call by value
02, When you are in big programming teams
03, When you don't want everything "global"
04, When you are doing a private "module"

That's a few...
