strings in v3

Work on v3 is progressing really well. We're very pleased with what we have done here and I can't wait to let you lot have a look at it too.

At this stage, though, I'd like to get a bit more feedback about what is required with a few features - specifically interrupts (I'll ask about this in a separate thread) and strings.

Strings are posing a bit of a problem due to the RAM memory constraints of PICmicros, so there are going to be a few compromises along the way - don't expect full VB-like functionality.

So my question is, what kind of things would you like to see? How should strings be defined by a FlowCode user? How should strings be used (i.e. what functions are required for string manipulation)? ...etc...etc...

Any input will be greatefully received.

There is always the option of external memory (which I hope is a component in V3)
A string tool would be nice for serial, LCD output ect.
