So I've concluded this afternoon! I took a snippet off one of the newsgroups that demonstrated push_back for a *vector* of strings, and tried to get it to work for an array (named "array" oddly enough) of strings; the error message clued me in: /home/bernie/cpp/vector2.cpp: In function `int main()': /home/bernie/cpp/vector2.cpp:30: request for member `push_back' in `array', which is of non-aggregate type `basic_string<char,string_char_traits<char>,__default_alloc_template<true,0> > Stroustrup (page 593, 3rd edition) says string does not have push_back(). That's weird, my copy (same edition) says, "Because string has a push_back()..." but in context it's clear that that must be a typo fixed in a later printing. Mine is 5th printing, Jan, 1998. (?) Now I wonder why that snip is in those STL docs? They are purported to be the authoritative 'latest stuff', are they not? Oh well, there's a controversy for another day.
