That was written by me.

And that was written by you in your previous message.
If you are interested in a serious discussion, you should learn some
basic rules first, see for instance
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
Also, at least you should use a mail client, that handles MIME parts
correctly. Better, don't send any MIME at all, but plain ASCII text.
Currently, your messages contain much garbage (technically speaking).

A string can't *be* any character, but *contain* any character. Believe
it or not, that's true. At least for strings in BASIC, which I was
talking about. As I wrote previously, in Euphoria the term "string" is
not well defined, because there is no "string" datatype.
