Problem with StringBrowser in InterViews 2.6

Hi, I've been having the following problem with the StringBrowser in
InterViews 2.6.


        StingBrowser*   items;

	char*   oldString = items->String(index);

        strcpy(newString, "-> ");
        strcat(newString, oldString)
        items->Insert((const char*) newString, index);
        items->Remove(index+1);

This code is intended to insert a "-> " in front of a given string and
replace it in the StringBrowser.
I've used the Insert(index), Remove(index+1) as a means of doing the
replace since there is no Replace
member function in the StringBrowser class.

The problem is that on subsequent manipulations of the same locations
(and especially at index+1) I'm
getting run-time errors which seem to indicate that the list
manipulation done by Insert/Remove is done
incorrectly. 

Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone suggest a solution? Is this
an InterViews bug?

Any help would be appreciated.
