For any topological near-ring (which is not a ring) whose additive group is the additive group of real numbers, we investigate the near-ring of all continuous functions, under the pointwise operations, from a compact Hausdorff space into that near-ring. Specifically, we determine all the homomorphisms from one such near-ring of functions to another and we show that within a rather extensive class of spaces, the endomorphism semigroup of the near-ring of functions completely determines the topological structure of the space.
