Thats what I always use when working with TEXTs. Normally I will set
strings to be more than one, but thats just due to my needs.
It has never (to my knowledge) cause me crashes on exit...
(NEVER EVER set strings to be ZERO, it WILL cause a bug with TEXTs to appear)

And telling the definition "strings = xxx;" is not really appropriate IF
you use the "string = ( "xxx", "yyy", ...);" directive in that same TEXT...


But I cant say I use it "a lot", cause I just dont like to use TEXTs much.
I tend to create my own STRING arrays.

And both str_remove AND ptr_remove are both valid for pstring elements of a TEXT.
I just prefer to use type-specific xxx_remove functions when I can...
