PPOST adds the specified structure to the table of posted structures in the workstation state list of the specified workstation.  It also assigns the specified display priority to the structure.  The priority allows the application to indicate the relative importance of displayed structure networks.  If two structures have the same priority, the last posted structure network receives the highest priority and is handled first. 

If the specified structure does not exist when the function executes, the function creates an empty structure.
