 procedure Insert(const InsertStr string; var TargetStr string; Position Integer);
Description
The Insert procedure inserts one string, InsertStr into another string, TargetStr at the given Position.
 
The TargetStr string characters from the Position character are moved right to make way for the InsertStr string.

To insert into the start of TargetStr, set Position to 1 or less.
