I am looking for a way to reuse the same string variable throughout a
function.  i have a function that changes the contents of a string.
what i need to do is earase the old contents of the string, and replace
it with new contents.  both the new and old ocntents in teh string are
the same length.  he is the way i currently am using the strings:

msg1=msg2;
msg2=msg3;
msg3=msg4;
msg4=msg;

basicly im jsut rotating the contents of these variables.  all are 78
elements long, and char type.
