CHR$ Function
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Returns a one-character string whose ASCII code is the argument.


 Syntax

  CHR$( code%)


 Remarks

  CHR$ is commonly used to send a special character to the screen or printer.
 For example, you can send a form feed (CHR$(12)) to clear the screen and
 return the cursor to the home position.

  CHR$ also can be used to include a double quotation mark (") in a string.
 The following line adds a double-quotation-mark character to the beginning
 and the end of the string.

 Msg$=CHR$(34)+"Quoted string"+CHR$(34)

 extended character set and uses these characters to draw boxes on the
