transfer a string from ROM to an array

[HenrikOlsson]

I think it might have something to do with the number of bytes (odd or even) in the string.
In both of Richards examples there's an even number of bytes (16 and 22) but your Hello string there's an odd number of bytes (5). I seem to remember an issue with this being discussed in one of the 'Strings in codespace' threads some years ago.

odd length strings , wastes space but not a problem

there's another little cheat if all the strings are odd length the 0 terminator is redundant
