+ Cactus KEYWORD and STRING parameters are not stored as Fortran strings
+ (they are pointers to C strings) so you need to convert them first.
+ Use the routine CCTK_FortranString to copy them to a locally defined
+ Fortran string, then you can manipulate them as usual. If you just
+ want to print the value to the standard output there is also the
+ routine CCTK_PrintString.
