Roland:

        What I so badly related in the previous message is that I find the  
syntax listed below sufficient for deallocating character arrays.

foo()
{
        char* string = new char[number of characters];
        .....
        delete string;
}

        However the syntax below is what is suggested by Lippman for an  
array of pointers to objects.  The String destructor is invoked for each  
of the "size" elements of tbl2.

foo()
{
        String tbl[ size ];
        String *tbl2 = new String[ size ];
        .....
        while (cin >> tbl[i]);
        ....
        delete [ size ] tbl2;
}

        I mistakely assumed that your use of "new" was to return an array of  
object pointers rather than an array of characters, my mistake.
