You're confusing FrmSetTitle and FrmCopyTitle. The "copy" form has the
problems you state, while the "set" form just changes an internal pointer,
but it requires that your title string remain in memory for the life of the
form.
I wasn't complaining about how it worked, just making an observation about
how the prototypes could be changed for future OS versions.
