Hi Keith,

I think you're on the right track, just a little off in the declaration. If you have a pointer to a string use:

DECLARE INTEGER lstrcpy IN Win32API;
  STRING @lpString1, INTEGER lpString2
lcbuffer = SPACE(100)
* lnpointer is the pointer to the string
= lstrcpy(@lcbuffer, lnpointer)

will copy the null terminated string pointed to by lnpointer into the buffer.

hth,
