CHR()

Syntax:     CHR(<expN>)

Purpose:    To convert an ASCII code to a character.

Argument:   <expN> is the ASCII code of the character to return and
            can be in the range of zero to 255.

Returns:    A character value.

            CHR() returns the character corresponding to the ASCII code
            specified by <expN>.

Usage:      CHR() is very versatile and serves a number of common tasks
            which include:

            .  Send control codes to the printer.

            .  Ring the bell.

            .  Send graphic characters to the screen or printer.

            .  Stuff the keyboard buffer with key codes.

            Note that different commands treat characters in different
            ways.  For example, @...SAY CHR(7) displays a graphic
            character to the screen where ? CHR(7) sounds the bell.

            Note that CHR(0) has a length of one and is treated the same
            as any other character.  This allows you to send it to any
            device or file including a database file.
