Modifying string length?_(re)

According to Frank Heckenbach:

AFAIK, there isn't.  Use the `SubStr' function (like BP's `copy' function)
to shorten a string, and the `+' operator to make it longer.

And of course you can take a pointer to the string, cast it to a pointer
to a record the fields of which you can manipulate like you wish ...

The African Chief is working on this.  (-:
It will probably be released soon.
