 The context was "Helge Mathee" which is now quite explicit on this
list.  ;-)

I think you're confusing the "CString" in MFC
with the CString in the XSI SDK.
Then again, the context wasn't explicitly specified.

You can simply cast the CString to a LPCTSTR

operator LPCTSTR ( ) const;

Then it can be used as a const char*, as in:

CString l_sFilename = "filename.txt";

const char* l_psFileName = (LPCTSTR)l_sFilename;
