What I meant is that when you define a structure in a .h file, you are
not creating global variables, there are only global variables once you
instantiate the structure.

They are global to that file if they are instantiated outside of the
scope of a function.

ex :

static int a;

void f ();
voif g ();

a is global.

but in :

void f ()
{
 int a;
}

a is local.

That's a good idea. I like the example and you can move things around to
be compliant with it.

Yes that is a good idea!
But I think you won't be able to get rid of things like GetMainWindow ()
that returns a pointer to the structure and thus permits to use internal
values. At least not before 1.00, but you can try.

Be careful with memory though, always check your changes with
MALLOC_CHECK_=2 so that bugs do not stay hidden :)
