By the way, George, cool way to insert into the middle!
2008/9/26 Mikhail Zheleznov <zheleznovster@gmail.com>_______________________________________________a$(1:0) looks great for appending to the front of the string!
For appending to the end, a$(1000:99999) looks great if you know the
length of the string is not more than 1000. But if you don't know,
then you looks like you have to do this:
let pastendofstring = len ( mystring$ ) + 1
let newendofstring = pastendofstring + len ( texttoappend$ )
let mystring$ ( pastendofstring : newendofstring ) = tetxtoappend$
Which brings me back to the original wish to have the &= operator.
