I've found that many of the string functions~ don't work in Windows, 
particularly strcpy.  I haven't been able to find any discussion of string
manipulation in the dox, particularly the Guide to Programming.  Can anyone
point me to a good discussion of it, or possibly point out some caveats?

Ya know, what I'm trying to write is really not that complicated.  But whenever
I try something new (meaning something I simply haven't tried under Windows
but have done many times in other environments) it takes several days to figure
out some silly little extra thing I've got to do to make it work.  Assuming
I'm successful at all and don't end up kludging a way around it.  This is the
first and last application I will try to write using just the SDK.
