IMHO "make string! 100" should create a string of value "100" (or am I thinking of to-string?), just like "make integer! 100" (or to-integer 100) makes an interger of value 100. If you want a function to create an empty string with the space to hold 100 characters, perhaps a new function or refinement could do that. Elliott
