the following will produce slightly (but every tick counts, eh?) faster,
and cleaner resultant code/execution... also, it will work for
ANY euphoria data type now...
func IsAlpha(object data)
obj up
up = upper(data)
return not find(0,range(up,'A','Z'))
end func

ditto above...
func isNum(object data)
return not find(0,range(data,'0','9'))
end func
this is faster because an average if-then statement block
can take anywhere from 3 to 60, mebbe even 100 ticks
to process, whereas the not statement is nearer a single tick...
