I do recall linking something and maybe that was it TBH.

[Yup, the forum found it for me.](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/help-with-progmem-and-char-arrays/1429675)

> Thanks very much. But each string has to have it's own PROGMEM? I couldn't just add PROGMEM to the array I had originally, with the (char\*) things?

Note the terminating zeros embedded in txt[] and not commas edited into zeros lets me put the pointers in PROGMEM instead of RAM or EEPROM.
