You're not doing anything wrong. However, CW for Palm 6 doesn't have a
C++ library -- you're free to write your own string class, but nothing
is provided.
CW for PalmOS 7 does have a limited version of STL, including string
support. However, you may not want to use it since its memory
management is identical to what would be used on the desktop, which
could deplete your free store quicker than a custom solution based on
memory handles.
