You should free the string, as you described.

The good news is that the memory should be freed automatically when Euphoria
shuts down. So it's not really not that bad - at least for small
applications.

In Win32Lib, there is a allot_string/free_strings pair filched from Pete.
That way, I can allocate a bunch of strings as I need them, and then free
them all in a single statement.
