Oops, my terminology is off again. I'm sorry. I'll try to do better in
the future. I simply want to create a specific struct for each MI output
command. 

I'm making some progress on this task. I'm going to post what I've got
in a few days. I'm not happy with the way it's turning out, due to the
fact that the MI output commands don't describe what kind of output
command they are. However, with comments from you and Nick, I'm sure I
can work it out.

Thanks,
