string range [max]	string $v1 0x80	Display memory as an ASCII string in quotes. Display stops at the first null byte, or, when max is specified, after at most max bytes.

The display routines available to the kp command are discussed under "Using idbg". The names that idbg accepts as commands are all available under symmon through the kp command.

Use the dump command under symmon. Under idbg, use the hd command for the same purpose.
