 ## Current version
 
-This second version of the interpreter exists to test out the
-structured statement providing conditions and iteration, and simple
-variable scoping.  Clearly we need some minimal other functionality so
-that values can be tested and instructions iterated over.  All that
-functionality is clearly not normative at this stage (not that
-anything is **really** normative yet) and will change, so early test
-code will certainly break in later versions.
+This third version of the interpreter exists to test out some initial
+ideas relating to types.  Particularly it adds arrays (indexed from
+zero) and simple structures.  Basic control flow and variable scoping
+are already fairly well established, as are basic numerical and
+boolean operators.
 
-The under-test parts of the language are:
+Some operators that have only recently been added, and so have not
+generated all that much experience yet are "and then" and "or else" as
+short-circuit Boolean operators, and the "if ... else" trinary
+operator which can select between two expressions based on a third

- - conditional/looping structured statements
- - the `use` statement which is needed for that
- - Variable binding using ":=" and "::=", and assignment using "=".
+Elements that are present purely to make a usable language, and
+without any expectation that they will remain, are the "program'
+clause, which provides a list of variables to received command-line
+arguments, and the "print" statement which performs simple output.
 
-Elements which are present to make a usable language are:
-
- - "blocks" of multiple statements.
- - `pass`: a statement which does nothing.
- - expressions: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%` can apply to numbers and `++` can
-   catenate strings.  `and`, `or`, `not` manipulate Booleans, and
-   normal comparison operators can work on all three types.
- - `print`: will print the values in a list of expressions.
- - `program`: is given a list of identifiers to initialize from
-   arguments.
+The current scalar types are "number", "Boolean", and "string".
+Boolean will likely stay in its current form, the other two might, but
+could just as easily be changed.

-## Language elements
+#### Structs
+
+A `struct` is a data-type that contains one or more other data-types.
+It differs from an array in that each member can be of a different
+type, and they are accessed by name rather than by number.  Thus you
+cannot choose an element by calculation, you need to know what you
+want up-front.
+
+The language makes no promises about how a given structure will be
+stored in memory - it is free to rearrange fields to suit whatever
+criteria seems important.
+
+Structs are declared separately from program code - they cannot be
+declared in-line in a variable declaration like arrays can.  A struct
+is given a name and this name is used to identify the type - the name
+is not prefixed by the word `struct` as it would be in C.
+
+Structs are only treated as the same if they have the same name.
+Simply having the same fields in the same order is not enough.  This
+might change once we can create structure initializes from a list of
+values.
+
+Each component datum is identified much like a variable is declared,
+with a name, one or two colons, and a type.  The type cannot be omitted
+as there is no opportunity to deduce the type from usage.  An initial
+value can be given following an equals sign, so
+
+##### Example: a struct type
+
+       struct complex:
+               x:number = 0
+               y:number = 0
+
+would declare a type called "complex" which has two number fields,
+each initialised to zero.
+
+Struct will need to be declared separately from the code that uses
+them, so we will need to be able to print out the declaration of a
+struct when reprinting the whole program.  So a `print_type_decl` type
+function will be needed.
