The values you get in pszText is a string (widechar) pointer and not the actual string. To convert the pointer to a string do the following:

^lv.pszText$ --> This will put a widechar string on the stack.
char(^lv.pszText$) --> Convert the widechar string to a regular string.

ShowMessage(char(^lv.pszText$));

PPL uses the same method to store strings in arrays. It only stores the pointer of the string.

DIM(A$, 100);
A$[1] = "STRING";
ShowMessage(A$[1]); --> Will show string pointer value.
ShowMessage(^A$[1]); --> Display "STRING"
