James,

If it's not returning a string then you are out of luck.  make sure of the
return type before hand.  Just open the header file and find the function.
Once you have it then look for the return ( in this case there will probably
be more than one due to error control.  You need the main return).  If you
can't find it then try casting it to a string (iffy) and you should get
something then.
