Oops. . . .my fingers just wouldn't stop typing "array of pointers". What I meant was: An array of pointers to character strings would be a pointer to a bunch of pointers of type char. I was trying to point out that "character string" is simply a pointer to a bunch of objects which happen to be chars, as is an array of characters.
