Shouldn't you use "Char str[5]" instead? I'm still confused about how
Palm handles characters, but I think that in some locales, a character
is more than one byte. To be fully portable, I think you need to
declare all strings as type "Char" and when allocating space use
MemPtrNew((strlen+1)*sizeof(Char)) (or MemHandleNew). Note that all
string manager functions expect type "Char" not "char".
