I've never bothered to get a complete grasp over structures before, and
now it is hurting me.  Could someone please tell me the proper way to
accomplish the following ugliness?

-----------------
struct X {
    char *s;
    int a, b;
};
 
 
main()
{
    struct X x;
    struct X *sp;
    char max[25];
 
    sp = &x;
 
    sp.s = max;
    strcpy(x.s, "Some Stuff");
    fun(&x);
}
 
fun(stuff)
struct X *stuff;
{
    stuff->*(++s) = 'X';
    printf("%s\n", stuff.s); /* I want this to print "Xme Stuff" */
}
