In Euphoria, characters are just integers from 0 to 255. Strings are sequences
of characters. The only difference is how you interpret them.

For example, 'A' is the same as the integer 65. You could write an if statement
either way:

if Key = 'A' then puts(1, "It's an A!\n") end if
if Key = 65 then puts (1, "It's still an A!\n") end if

For strings, the sequence {65, 66, 67} is the same as "ABC".

No need for a CHR$() in Euphoria!
