BBCBASIC: Windows: String: Nul terminated: How to create a nul 
terminated string?

Use the

 $$

operator.

===

General format:

 $$<your integer variable name> = "<your constant string>"

---

E.g.

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

$$A% = "test2"

$$B% = "test2"

END

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

---

Note: You will need at least BBCBASIC for Windows v5.10a or higher for
      this to work

---

You need the null terminated string when using Microsoft Windows API 
functions
(via 'SYS' in BBCBASIC for Windows)

Tested successfully on
Microsoft Windows XP Professional (service pack 2),
running
