Bug or new feature? - It's A Big Bug!

[Brian Yennie]

FWIW:

ask "?"
put (it is empty)
put length(it)&&charToNum(it)

Reveals that hitting cancels returns a string with length of 1, but a 
null byte.
Even testing "char 1 of it" gives this same nasty 1-byte nothing!

Sounds to me like someone stomped on the length pointer for "it" in the 
engine when they return from that ask dialog...
