I'n confused...
 This will work:
    char *p;
    p = "Hello Wrold";

But this does not word";
    char **p;
    *p = "Hello World";

1) Can somebody explain this to me.

2) What solution can you offer me if my task is filling a table strings
   (3 lines with 3 strings in each line). This has to be done NOT in the
   decleration but in the program body. (reason is because I need to fill
   the same table with different data few times).
       The table is:
         str11, str12, str13,
         str21, str22, str33,
         str31, str32, str33
   The strings varies in length.
   I began by delcaring char **Table, but then, any attempt to initialize the
   tables (*Table = "ABC") gave me errors.

Thank you very much
