The following line:
    scanf("%d-%d-%d-%c", &beg_X, &end_Y, &wColor, &ch);

will NOT assign a value to the first variable (&beg_X) and it remains at
zero. BUT IF I FLIP the order of the first two variable (ie,
scanf("%d-%d-%d-%c", &end_Y, &beg_X, &wColor, &ch);), VALUES ARE ASSIGNED!

In a similar vein, the following line:
    WORD left = 8, top = 10, right = 50, bottom = 20, type;

will properly initialize evry requested variable of type word EXCEPT FOR THE
last one (bottom = 20). I had to reassign the value later in the code.

I'm using RHIDE on a Windows 95 machine. Any help much appreciated.
