CHAR - extract ASCII character from string.

Alternate Entry Name: .CHAR

B:
   ch = char( string, pos );

/* C users just use subscripting */

string: is a pointer to the beginning of the ASCII string.
pos: is a number indicating the position of the desired character in the string. The character which begins the string is in position zero, the next character is in position one, and so on.
ch: is the character found in the specified position.

CHAR is used to extract a nine-bit ASCII character from a string. It returns the character found in the specified position.

Since C programs can subscript directly, CHAR does not support C style string pointers.
