Sorry, sent the message before I finished what I was trying to say.
The run-time debugging output involves a couple of macros defined in
t4k_common, plus a group of bit flags (can be combined with '|') that
determine what part of tuxmath should produce output.  Just look at
mathcards.c for examples of how to use DEBUGMSG and DEBUGCODE.

The needed includes are #include "globals.h" and #include <t4k_common.h>.

If you are using a doubly-linked list, it is pretty easy to move the
nodes into a new list rather than deleting them.

Actually, I prefer corresponding braces to be vertically aligned in
the same column, but I'm not a zealot about it.  What do other tuxmath
devs think?  If most people like the opening brace at the end of the
function signature, I'm OK with it, but let's keep the changes to a
minimum unless there is really a consensus.  However, I think we all
agree that my two-space indenting can be changed to four spaces.

Anyway, it looks like you've put a lot of work into it so far.  It
looks like you are keeping the same basic idea of a doubly-linked list
to hold the questions.

Best,

David
