This will improve clarity and in the long run will reduce typing:

AnsiString RightStr( AnsiString const & Stringgy,
                     int                Start )
{
  return Stringgy.SubString( Start, Stringgy.Length() );
}

Then you'd have:

MyString="Hello";

AnsiString newString=RightStr( MyString, 2 ); // "llo"

This will incur a slight performance hit but it will be very slight
compared to what AnsiString is already doing. In my experience
AnsiString is a very good general purpose string but some of its
functions are slow. For 95% of apps this won't matter but we have a
text indexing application and we had to ditch AnsiString for the main
engine.
