    Very nice. Though still mysterious. The charset
should have defined the string as ANSI. When that
was converted to binary it should have been an
array of bytes corresponding to each character.
Instead, by referring to array elements
in the way that I was, using size, I was apparently
getting an array of two elements for each character,
representing a unicode character. So there's transparent
unicode conversion. Yuck. This seems to be similar to VB.
You can handle various text formats, and presumably
if you wrote that string to disk you'd get an ANSI file.
But behind the scenes it's dealing in unicode-16.
