I am trying to call MessageBox() from a Dialog Box.  If I call
it with MB(hDlg, (LPSTR) "No filename specified", NULL, MB...);

the string is not displayed, and junk is in it's place, and memory
is cold screwed up.

If I call it with a string used elsewhere in the program, defined at the
top as:
	static char DefSpec[10] = "*.*";

It works.

But if I define my own:
	static char Err[100] = "Yo mama";

I get the same error.

Any clues??????
