there is a problem in your statement. a str#, whether in an external or 
internal resource, is limited to 255 chars. if it's greater then it's 
not a str#.

if you want to manipulate >255 chars then either you should go the way 
of 'text' resources, or grow your own.

for keeping these once inside your app, you can use 'text' resources, 
containers, handlers, pointers, edit fields and small cardboard boxes. 
the best way comes down to your need.

no?
