I'm using ThinkC's Class libraries with the Check Prototypes option set.

I'd like to be able to call functions which expect arguments of the tye Str255
with a string I build on the fly. If I try to pass a string to a function like

SomeFunction("\pHere's my string");

and the compiler expects a Str255 as an argument, I get a compile error saying
that the argument doesn't match the prototype. I don't want to muck with the
prototypes in the TCL classes for reasons of conformity with future releases,
yet the prototyper helps in so many other situations. Anyone have a good
work-around for this? Am I missing an obvious solution? Many thanks.
