Perfect. Obviously didn't know that. My assumption that only the first

Thanks gents.
This is the way I dig out the ascii characters
from the word array. $nSize comes back from
function call.
loop (my $Index=0; $Index < $nSize - 2 ; $Index += 2) {
my $i = chr( $lpBuffer[ $Index ] );
if $i eq chr(0) { last; }
$ErrorString ~= $i;
}
The `$Index += 2` skips over the second byte in the
WORD array.
So far, WinAPI call have always sent me back
ascii characters in the first byte and a zero
in the second.
