The scripts below will convert between ASCII and Binary
Use a repeat on each char to convert the whole sentence.
Put the whole thing in a button to test how it works and
then rewrite the code without using ask and answer.

on mouseUp
answer "convert" with "ASCII-Bin" or "Bin-ASCII"
if it = "ASCII-Bin" then convABin
if it = "Bin-ASCII" then convBinA
end mouseUp
on convABin
ask "convert ASCII to Binary"
if it = empty or the result = "cancel" then exit to top
put it into charConv
put chartonum(charConv) into theNum
put baseconvert(theNum,10,2) --into fld id 1010
end convABin

ask "convert Binary to ASCII"
if it = empty or the result = "cancel" then exit to top
put it into theNum
put baseconvert(theNum,2,10) into charConv
put numtochar(charConv) --into fld id 1010
end convBinA
