In MPW 2.0, there is a \p escape which makes Pascal strings:
	"\phello world\n"
is a pascal string.

A Str255 is a structure:

struct {
	char length;
	char data[255];
}

(The member names are probably wrong - this is from memory)  Anyway, because
it is a structure, you have to take its address explicitly.
