Brad Clarke mentioned this to Gary Weinfurther:

Actually, only "string" is a string type.  A string is one or more 
characters, whereas "Char" is always single character.  So if you want to 
extract or inspect each character from a string, one at a time, you would use 
a Char.
PChar is a pointer to a character.
