RE: isalpha

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I recall, isalpha() tests one character at a time.

I think the prototype should look something like this (I didn't test it):

     d isalpha         pr            10i 0 extproc('isalpha')
     d  testchar                      1    value

If the character is alphabetic, the function will return 1, otherwise 0.
