strange char translation from intel to ppc

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bernard,

Since those characters 29 and 30 are lower ASCII, there shouldn't be  
any encoding problems. Do you want to send me a very simple, very  
small stack that shows the same problem?

For whatever it is worth,

   put numtochar(30) is mactoiso(numtochar(30))

returns true.

I do indeed wonder whether non-alphanumerics can be used for keys of  
arrays. I haven't looked this up, though. It seems to take more than a  
few clicks to find this information.
