Strange... I can do it with no problem. E.g.,
Char s[20];
Char *pData;
pData = MemHandleLock( DmGetResource(strRsc, MyResourceString) );
WinDrawChars(pData, 8, 10, 20);
StrPrintF(s, "0:%d, 1:%d, 2:%d", pData[0], pData[1], pData[2]);
WinDrawChars(s, StrLen(s), 10, 30);
draws eight unprintable chars [boxes] at (10,20) and draws "0:1, 1:2, 2:3"
at (10,30).
How are you "looking in pData[0]" and what do you see that isn't "1"?
