  I am trying to write an XFCN in LSC3.0 and ran into a bit of 
a problem.  Are string constants considered globals that are not
allowed?  I tried setting a (pointer to char) to a string constant.
I then wanted to copy this string to the returnValue.  The copying
works in a simple application but if I try it in the XFCN, the
string pointer points to a NULL and nothing gets copied.  If I use
many 4 byte constants ('abcd') to fill a string, it works.
  Maybe I am just completely missing something because I should be
out having fun now but I am sitting here at my desk _working_!

  Well, thanks for any help you can give.
