 ## structure definitions
 
 records start numbering at '1'.
+Names are stored as: `byte strlen + char value[strlen]`
 
 The first entry contains:
 
     byte
     array {
-        byte strlen
-        char name[strlen]
+        Name keyname
         uint32_t index_or_size;   // size when bit31 is set.
         byte data[size]
     }
 
+this results in a dictionary, with keys like: `Bank`, `BankId`, `BankTable`, `Base`nnn, etc.
+
+the `Base000` entry contains the record number for the table definition of the first table.
