RE: Built-in function %char

I still have "new" ones. I called IBM back in like 1980 and asked for some.
They asked "How many" since we had 8 or so programmers, I said, "how about
10".
A week late, 10 packs of 10 showed up! I gave out the 8 and a few since
then. The rest I think may still be in storage along with the master copies
of Q38, a printer spacing chart, the old Helix steel RPG ruler, and some
coding sheets.

Heck, Booth, I've still got the IBM Debugging Template (GX21-9129-9)  
from either my S/3 or S/34 days. 


Not actually much good for debugging any more since it's set for 10cpi 
and printers around here all do proportional.  But it does have the edit 
codes.


And I've even got printer layout charts and screen design charts.  
Apparently I never throw anything away.
