The file whose name you put in (variable) will have one record per field of the original table, and in each record you will have the name, type, length, number of decimal places plus other things you generally get in the array created with aFields(). You can use this sort of table to create a new table with the structure defined in it.
This is actually a xBase way of defining the structure of a table programmatically, so you have to have this (definition-holding) table to create a table from it. Since the times this was invented (12? 13? how many years ago) we were treated with Create Table, Create Cursor and GenDbc stuff. This Structure Extended table is actually an overhead we can do without - there are easier ways to accomplish the same thing: to create a table with a pre-defined structure.
