If the goal is to have the string 0-delimited, it's even simpler. Since 
you have dimmed urlText$ within a CLEAR LOCAL, it will already be filled 
with 0's, so when you assign urlText$ = EDIT$(x), assuming the length of 
EDIT$(x) is less than 255, there should already be a 0 at the end of 
urlText$. I can't say whether that will solve the original problem or 
not. If I wanted absolute certainty, I would use this:
urlText$[urlText$[0]+1] = 0'WARNING: don't use if length can be 255.

Also, make sure you haven't set the option to "fill vars with $A5A5 for 
debugging."
