+\function{_push_struct_field_values}
+\synopsis{Push the values of a structure's fields onto the stack}
+\usage{Integer_Type num = _push_struct_field_values (Struct_Type s)}
+\description
+ The \var{_push_struct_field_values} function pushes the values of
+ all the fields of a structure onto the stack, returning the
+ number of items pushed. The fields are pushed such that the last
+ field of the structure is pushed first.

+\function{get_struct_field}
+\synopsis{Get the value associated with a structure field}
+\usage{x = get_struct_field (Struct_Type s, String field_name)}
+\description
+ The \var{get_struct_field} function gets the value of the field
+ whose name is specified by \var{field_name} of the structure \var{s}.
+\example
+ The following example illustrates how this function may be used to
+ to print the value of a structure.
+#v+
+ define print_struct (s)
+ {
+ variable name;
+
+ foreach (get_struct_field_names (s))
+ {
+ name = ();

+\synopsis{Retrieve the field names associated with a structure}
+\usage{String_Type[] = get_struct_field_names (Struct_Type s)}
+\description
+ The \var{get_struct_field_names} function returns an array of
+ strings whose elements specify the names of the fields of the
+ struct \var{s}.
+\example
+ The following example illustrates how the
+ \var{get_struct_field_names} function may be used to print the
+ value of a structure.
+#v+
+ define print_struct (s)
+ {
+ variable name, value;
+
+ foreach (get_struct_field_names (s))

+\function{is_struct_type}
+\synopsis{Determine whether or not an object is a structure}
+\usage{Integer_Type is_struct_type (X)}
+\description
+ The \var{is_struct_type} function returns \1 if the parameter
+ refers to a structure or a user-defined type. If the object is
+ neither, \0 will be returned.

+\description
+ The \var{set_struct_field} function sets the value of the field
+ whose name is specified by \var{field_name} of the structure
+ \var{s} to \var{field_value}.

+\usage{set_struct_fields (Struct_Type s, ...)}
+\description
+ The \var{set_struct_fields} function may be used to set zero or more
+ fields of a structure. The fields are set in the order in which
+ they were created when the structure was defined.
+\example
