StrNew

Function:

newString:stringID StrNew [initialValue:string]

Syntax:

set StringRef:long to StrNew "Hello World!"

Registers a new string, and returns it's reference number as a long. This number is used when performing functions on the string -- the long itself does not contain the string, merely points to it.

If initialValue (a string as recognized by the CS, not a stringID) is given, it will be copied to the resulting string.

StrNew attaches the calling script's identifier to the new string.
