I'll try that tonight, thanks very much!

Always learning, even after 20 years of working with TP...  This
exercise has clued me into a few things:

- foo:string is the same as foo:string[255] (knew this already but
it's a good reminder never to use empty strings again)

- PChar arrays (aka defined as const foo:PChar='testing') take up
space in the data segment :-/

- The compiler takes advantage of the fact that PChar arrays are
pointers to null-terminated strings and is smart enough to optimize
100% identical contents by only having one copy and the others
reference it via pointers.  I was not expecting that at all; that is
very cool.
