If so, when the handles are returned to you in your reply rec, the first two bytes are the buffer length, followed by the actual class_1 string. So move the whole thing down two bytes in memory (starting at the +2 byte in the handle) and you'll have a normal class_1 string that can be passed to GS/OS.
