Hi,
I am writing a vanilla URL encoder (anyone already got one?) to allow me to
post text to a web site form.

The strategy is to find each character in a list, and return the %nn
equivalent from another list.

But, I have found an anomaly in the ASCII character osax (X version) - I
can't get the character backspace () to work

I can generate the backspace character with
ASCII character 8

But if I try and invert this, i.e.,

ASCII character (ASCII character 8)

I get "Can't make some data into the expected type."


ASCII character ((ASCII character 8) as string)

Also fails

A bug in ASCII character, I guess?
