I think that would be
    put numToChar(number of characters of s) into t
    put t & s into s
   etc.

PS: you can probably do it in a single statement, but I prefer to take two 
steps while I'm not quite sure of the correct way to write it.

PPS: I have no knowledge of Applescript, but I'm guessing the code above 
has the obvious meaning ...
