Thank you Henry. Your new table alone can replace the entire dcons.htm page I’ve been struggling with.
I also missed the important fact that, unlike other languages, the specification of the base (left of b) does not change/restrict the range of valid digits (in the right of b) -- 0-9 and a-z are always "valid digits” for any base. Thanks to your detail explanation!
