consider:

Program Foo;

Function MyFunction(I:Integer):ShortString;
Begin
  MyFunction := 'hi there';
End;

Var
  MyString : ShortString;

Begin
  MyString := MyFunction(2);
  MyString[0] := #2;
  WriteLn(MyString);
End.

When you return a ShortString ... who free's the memory for it? Or is it static? or something else?
