I went nuts trying to figure out why just a few text strings were

only those strings that had a meta or option key character in them
were the ones responsible.
That doesn't explain why though.
I doubt that I'm doing anything wrong because the other strings save
without a problem. So is this a bug or just an RB limitation?
There certainly isn't any such RB limitation. Perhaps it's a
limitation of the file format you're using. Without any more
details, I really can't guess.
BTW, what exactly is a Pascal String?
It's a string format typically used with older Mac APIs, generally to
represent WorldScript text. The format is a length byte followed by
0 to 255 additional bytes.
