Question regarding StringRef

I'm working on fixing a minor issue with normally unavailable containers, and I've noticed that containers such as the gem bag have two string entries with identical text, with one being called by the ITM file and the other being called by the STO file. Since normally unavailable containers only have one (e.g. bag of holding) can the same string be called by both files, or does this hose up things?

    One's the name of the item, the other is the name of the store. The first is displayed in the inventory etc., the other is displayed when you have the store open.

    Strings can be re-used w/o issue.

    @Camdawg, thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and fix that annoying bit with the Bag of Holding then.
