Just to recap this whole thread, and why I think we're getting confused, was
thay Dick wanted to know what ADDR() returned. Then we got talking about string
lengths, etc.

        ADDR(string) - returns the address of string. This can be used, with
great caution, but using POKE and PEEK.

        LEN(string) - returns the length of string

        SIZE(string) - returns the storage allocated for string.

You needed worry about overwriting the string storage since B09 will not permit
it (unless you do POKE/PEEK).

BTW, B09 is a pretty good and very fast language. It has some limitations which
I was hoping would be addressed in the 68K version, but, alas, it seems not to
be so. I would like to see some was to implement Global and/or Static variables
and a way to limit the name space pollution with all packed functions be
available to the entire system...should be some way to make private functions.
