I've started programming on my Mac, finally.  BTW, thanks to all of you
who pointed me toward the Programmer's Primer... it really helped.

I have a problem...  How do you copy a string from a dialog EditText item
into a character array?  I want to copy it to a new memory location so I can
take it apart and do unspeakable things to it, etc.  But, every time I try
locking down the handle and copying the string using strcpy, the computer
locks.  Even the onboard debugger doesn't offer any useful error messages.

Anyone know what to do?
