The code you posted should work (except that you are allocating memory for
str1 and str2 to point to and then you never free that memory, so you have a
memory leak). Call it like this to verify it yourself.
Char msg[20];
StrCopy(msg, myFunction());
WinDrawChars(msg, StrLen(msg), 10, 20);
If it doesn't work for you, then your program probably has done something to
mess up the stack.
