Well, string is left untouched, but ch is somehow killed by being set to the unicode value for the first letter of string.
(gdb) print ch $16 = (CHAR_DATA *) 0x41 (gdb) print string $18 = 0x26eed71 "Alala" (gdb) 0x41 is unicode for 'A' I did likewise using 'Hey' for string and it make ch the unicode for 'H'. Ammaross Danan
