The Data command needs the r modifier after each entry if you're using pointers since each entry needs to be 2 bytes large.  But there is a more memory efficient way to store the text, which is to just have each entry right after each other like this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5

:"Text1"[00]->Str1 :"Text2"[00] :"More Text"[00] :.etc

And then to get the Nth string, just write a routine that starts at Str1 and scans until it has read N-1 zeros

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

:Lbl NTH :Str1->r2 :While r1 : While {r2} :  r2++ : End : r2++ : r1-- :End :Return r2
