pointer to string type

Subject:pointer to string type

I need to use postmessage between threads and have been passing
records with no problem:

< on sender:>
p:=new(recordtype)
postmessage( yada, yada, yada, integer(p) );

<messagehandler>

p:=recordType(Message.LParam);
...
dispose(p);

Now I want to do the same with the built-in string type.  Do I
need to make a new type:

type pstring=^string;

and use that, or if I just use a string will I be able to pass
it via postmessage?  (and if so, will it be freed at the
completion of the message handler?)

Thanks
