/* BASIC string variables */
<br> NOTES:
#**A string variable is defined in BASIC with a "$" character postfix.
e.g.
<pre>a$ = "hello"
</pre>
#**A string variable is described internally by a "string descriptor block" which has the following structure:
{| border="1"
|}
#**The address of the "string descriptor block" for the string variable can be found in BASIC by typing: <pre>PRINT @a$
</pre>
replacing "a$" with the name of the string variable.
#**A string uses a minimum of 3 bytes of storage (a 0 character length string) and a maximum of 258 bytes of storage. 3 bytes are used by the "string descriptor block") #**A string variable can contain any ASCII character code in the range 0-255. #**A string variable can store a minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 255 characters. #**The length of the string in characters is defined in the string descriptor block. The string does not have a termination character.
