NOT ACCEPTABLE:
CharPtr note;
StrCat(note,"blah blah"); // Fails because memory is only allocated for
one pointer, not for multiple bytes
ACCEPTABLE:
Char note[128];
StrCat(note,"blah blah");
PREFERABLE UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES:
CharPtr note;
note=MemPtrNew(128L);
StrCat(note,"blah blah");
// and after finishing with note
MemPtrFree(note);
