Bert: I test this using WordArray and I work perfect in all the cases the
value was a number. But the type in the function definition is void*. So,
now, I need to send not only a 1 or 0, but a String. In this case, I cannot
do WordArray with: 'aStringValue'  neither ByteArray with: 'aStringValue' .
What can I do in this case? Do you have any idea?

I mean, I need to use the same parametrer void*, sending it a number or a
string.
