Sorry for the late response, but I don't get to read
this group as consistantly as I used to.
People have frequently told "DrumBSF" to write the string
instead of the pointer, but I don't think anybody has told
him what that means. I'm not going to either. I will suggest
though that in addition to reading the Palm docs, that Drum
pick up a good introduction to programming with C/C++ book
or possibly take a class at a local community college. The
difference between a pointer and what it points to is basic
stuff, and it is not specific to the Palm platform at all.
