I've never used char types; I'm so used to using Strings I don't even
think of it. Thanks!

The first 127 characters of Unicode are in fact ASCII (might be the
first 255, I'm not sure, but the first 127 for sure). In other words,
it you do:
int i = (int)'A';
will result in i=65, the ASCII value for A. char is a numeric type
remember, so you don't really have to cast to int, I just did it that
way to better illustrate what was happening.
To go the other way, it's just:
int i = 65;
char c = (char)i;
That assumes i<127.

I know "Ascii value" isn't quite the correct term, but it's the only
one I could come up with.
What Im trying to come up with is the simplest way of coming up with
the numeric value associated with a given character, and to go back
the other direction as well. In VB, these are the ASC() and chr()
functions. I know how to get these values by going through a Byte
type, but is there a quicker way to get (for example):
Starting with "B", return 66, or starting with " " (one space),
return 32?
Going the other way, 66 should return "B", and 32 should return " ".
Thanks for any suggestions!
