Thanks to all that replied.  My apologies for not looking a little
harder -- the keyword was "conversion", not "operator", "char",
"cast", "member operator", or whatever.  Since the BBS I use for
newsgroup was down almost a week, I probably lost some of the
replies.

    Summary:  operator char*() and related conversion functions are
covered in ARM section 12.3.2. Conversion Functions.
