will that modeswitch take care of the warning about explicit conversion between 
ansistring and unicode string when one has

var foo : unicodestring;

writeln(padright(foo,5);

??

i wrote a quick and simple little array exhibit program for someone... i had 
thought to try to embrace this new unicode stuff by using unicode strings... the 
using the padright and similar string manipulators gave me warnings about 
ansistring conversions :?

NOTE: this may be because i have an older lazarus and fpc installed... lazarus 
fixes 1.6.1 and fpc fixes 3.0.something...
