An array of File_Type might well do the trick even though I might have
to think up some arbitrary limits to this array. while not too elegent,
will do the trick. Thank you.

In case it matters the application is a "C" preprocessor (like) that
supports inclusion of other files . I would rather not have to close
and reopen/seek etc.
