Irv, Yes, I enter a string. Yes, the value() function makes that string numerical. That's not what I want. When I reference a variable, the variable contains the ASCII code, and nothing else. I'm not articulate, but I do what I mean. Quoting from the documentation: Example 1: s =3D value("12345"} -- s is {GET_SUCCESS, 12345} Suppose as you suggest I let i =3D s[2]. When I reference i which is s[= 2], does the interpreter not choke because 12345 is not an ASCII value? I try the following: include get.e sequence s s =3D value("7") print(1,s) Suppose i =3D s[2] i =3D 7. I want it to be 55, or whatever the ASCII value for 7 is. --Alan =
