Record size is based on the # of bytes allocated (plus some OS overhead),
its independent of the data it contains.
You can place multiple strings (or other data types) in a record provided
your app knows where each element begins and ends. If you use a structure,
you can just move/copy the structure memory (or pointer to it) in and out of
your record.
Take a look at the source code for some of the built-in apps, read the SDK
documentation or even buy one of the 3rd party books.
