Hmm, those debug ROMs have some useful code in them.  My
understanding is that you should be using FrmCopyLabel, making
sure that the pre-defined text in the label will fit your replacement
text.

In many cases it's more robust to use a Field with editable off or
manually draw the text using WinDrawChars and a FormDraw function
called from an frmUpdateEvent handler.  This has less chance of biting
you when you alter the run-time text without extending the label's text in
the resource file.
