2.4.  Strings

     There are two forms of strings  in	 ADL:	compile-time
strings	 and  run-time	strings.   Compile-time	 strings are
those which appear in the ADL source code for the  scenario.
They are delimited by double quotes and	are transformed	into
positive sixteen-bit String  IDs  by  the  compiler.   These
strings	 are  free-form	in that	a carriage return may appear
in them	at any point.	This  sort  of	carriage  return  is
transformed  into a blank.  Should the ADL programmer desire
a true carriage	return,	the sequence n	should	be  embedded
in  the	 string	 at  the  appropriate  point.	Compile-time
strings	may be limited to 255 characters in length  in	some
implementations.

     Run-time strings are  those  which	 are  typed  by	 the
player	and those which	are generated by the built-in string
manipulation routines.	Strings	in player input	may be	del-
imited by appropriately	nested single or double	quotes.	 All
run-time strings are  represented  as  NEGATIVE	 sixteen-bit
string IDs.
