Yes I did read that and had heard it before. I was assuming you
might be referring to some other great and mysterious truth! <g>

I'm sure you have. It was just a topic over on Delphi-Talk this weekend,
for instance. Each time you change a string's length, you force a new
memory allocation and a copy of the old string into the new one. This
can lead to memory fragmentation, and it can also waste time.
