Keywords: what exactly is the Alert String definition


	I'm writing a program and I need to use alerts.  However, the
Intuition manual isn't too clear on the String structure definition.  
What I really don't understand is if I want more than one string to
appear in my alert, do I link the various structures together via the
last field?  (I can't remember what's it suppossed to be called right
now.)  The Intuition manual says that this field is a byte long, but that's
not long enough for a pointer.  Are they assuming that the byte is really
an integer and is assumed to be 32bits long?  Any help would be appreciated.
I thank you in advance.
