Item.Strings v ListText

It seems to me both Item.Strings and ListText properties are identical.
Why should 2 properties be used to store identical contents?

Item.Strings is internal and cannot be set with Macro Scheduler code (it is a property of a sub-object). ItemText is therefore supplied as a way to set it.

That's interesting. Now I understand Item.Strings can't be manupilated by Macro Scheduler code. Are both supposed/required to be identical?

Just forget about Items.Strings since you can't access it or modify it. Forget it exists and use ListText instead. Use ListText to access and modify it.
