/ James Clark <jjc@xxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
| Converting between strings and lists of characters is not very efficient
| especially for large strings.  You would be much better off using
| string-length/substring/string-ref.

Check.  If "&#RE;" is the newline as a string, what's the newline as a
character?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
