one more time, you're confusing internal representation of a string with
a string.
Can you explain what makes a button any more than a bunch of pixels in
screen?
Fair questions about the need of a class are ok, but all your questions
about the need of a string class have already been replied. If you're
not able to understand the reply, say it and I (or somebody else) can
try to explain it better, but your mail seems to me more like a troll
than a fair question.
