[#27] 2D arrays; STRUCT

Since the 'C' structure construct is so kewl <ahem>, what could be better than being able to establish ARRAYS of structures?  Well, coding a 2D array of structures.  Any time more than a few multi-element data groups are needed, maybe this data format will help your program's design.
