In general, global data is stored in the data section.
However, you can explicitly tell CodeWarrior that you want string constants
embedded in the code. On the "68K processor" panel, there is a checkbox that
says "PC Relative strings".
This is very useful for those situations where you cannot access global varaibles.
(which is where constant strings are stored otherwise).
