    Can you explain what flex strings are, and how they differ from dynamic 
and fixed length strings? Could they perhaps be strings with a constant 
address in memory space, but with variable length still? (ie, heaps faster 
than exhaustively allocating and deallocating memory)
    I lost my copy of TRYPB due to HD crash, I can't remember whether that 
had online help anyway. :)
