Thanks to all who mailed me or posted to the amiga-relay possible
fixes to my problem.  I realized that it was probably something very
simple and an easy fix, which it was.  I am self teaching myself C, so
it's kinda hard to ask a book a question and get an answer easily... this
solution seemed to work the best for my needs:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
 char a[80];
 char *b;
 int i;
 b="Thanks All!";
 strcpy(a,b);
 for(i=0;a[i];i++)
   putchar(a[i]);
}

I cannot believe the speed that sucker ran at!  I was so used to BASIC
puttering along and dumping the string ever so slowly, this was a shocker!
The main purpose of running through a string in this manner is so I can
pull out characters of special meaning.  That way I can imbed a series
of quotes, or whatever to print to the screen.  For loops are hogs in BASIC..

   Thanks Again,
   Rob.
