Would it be possible to declare a string to be in flash memory? I can 
modify my functions to accept strings from flash.

While i know that i can save strings during declaration itself to stay 
within flash, can i do the same at the time of the function call?

Something like this...

length = strlen_P(PSTR("some string"));

Sorry for these silly questions. I am not used to this separation of 
flash and RAM. My previously used compiler handled flash strings in a 
different way.
