In this program,
In the main function, the user inputs the values of certain variables, and then goes to a menu, which is connected to various other functions.
My problem is that I need the other functions to be able to use the variables declared in main.
I don;t want to have to stick everything in one big function, that would be...difficult to find any errors in it.
I might choose to package those variables in a struct and pass a pointer to this struct as a parameter to relevant functions.

can you give an example
or be a little bit clearer
Yes. Can you post the code you've written?

I don't know about posting the code I have written so far, It is really repetitive, and boring, not to mention long.
But I can explain better.
I am using the example from the FAQ for using the directional keys in a console program.
But to make it a bit more protable, I have it asking for each arrow key to be pressed, and the resulting value is saved into a corresponding int declared in the main function(this all happens at the very beginning by the way) Now, I am trying to improve the Final Fantasy game I had originally made, by making the menus navigateable(is that a word?) with the directional keys, however, there is a menu in every function, and I do not want to have to ask for each key to be pressed every time it goes into another function!
I'm thinking of the other things I had tried before, making a header file with ALL the declarations and Defines in it, it seemed to work well, but I can not have too much functions this way, and I want to know of another way to do it.
So, basically, I already can get it done with the header file, but want to know of more ways.
OR, even better, tell me why I can not have too much functions, my compiler gives me the error "Parameter initialized" I do not see anything wrong with that, but perhaps someone will know.
Let me know if you want it explained more.
