	That will give you an array of 12 pointers to character. That is,
twelve pieces of memory capable of holding the address of a string. Actually
having them point at strings is a different matter. If you are going to be
doing it dynamically, you can use malloc() to get space, or you can do things
like
str[3] = "this is a string";	/* compiler allocates space */
Remember that if you use the "" notation, that the compiler allocates the space
for the string, and then makes your variable point at it, it doesn't make
another copy of it.
