BBCBASIC: Windows: String: Nul terminated: How to create a nul 
terminated string?
Use the
 $$
operator.
===
General format:
 $$<your integer variable name> = "<your constant string>"
---
E.g.
--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
$$A% = "test2"
$$B% = "test2"
END
--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------
---
Note: You will need at least BBCBASIC for Windows v5.10a or higher for
      this to work
---
You need the null terminated string when using Microsoft Windows API 
functions
(via 'SYS' in BBCBASIC for Windows)

Tested successfully on
