Using Think C 3.0 with the following code:

Cell	cell;

cell = LLastClick(...);

I get the message "illegal operation on struct/union".
I have circumvented with:

long	lcell;
Cell	cell;

lcell = (long)LLastClick(...);
cell.v = HiWord(lcell);
cell.h = LoWord(lcell);

But personally I find this solution aesthetically distasteful "in the
extremus", as Mr. Conrad would say.

I tried casting cell, but C doesn't seem to like casting lvalues.
Somebody please banish this distraction from my code.
