        string = ArgString(tt,entry,defaultstring)

        strptr argstring(ubyte **,strptr,strptr);

   FUNCTION
        This function looks in the ToolTypes array 'tt' returned

        tt - a ToolTypes array as returned by argarrayinit()
        entry - the entry in the ToolTypes array to search for
        defaultstring - the value to return in case 'entry' is not found within
                        the ToolTypes array

   RESULTS
        value - the value associated with 'entry', or defaultstring if 'entry'
                is not in the ToolTypes array
