Example:
dim s as StringHandleMBS
s=new StringHandleMBS
// Add some text
s.Add "Hello"
s.Add " "
s.Add "World"
// Insert a string
s.Insert " great",6
// check it
MsgBox s.Copy
// Delete the great from above
s.Delete 6,7
// check
MsgBox s.Copy
// Insert again
s.Insert " great ",6
// check
MsgBox s.Copy
// Now we extract the middle, so it's deleted
MsgBox s.Extract(6,7)
// check again
MsgBox s.copy
