 +======Synopsis:======
 +$[[chr]](<list of codepoints>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +The [[chr]] function converts a word list of codepoints into a sequence of 
 +characters.  Because EPIC only supports latin-1 at this time, only the 
 +codepoints 0 to 255 provide defined behavior.  Other codepoints will yield
 +one character per codepoint, but the character is undefined.
 +
 +For backwards compatability, [[chr]] accepts the values (-1 to -128) to be 
 +equivalent to (128 to 255).  This is not guaranteed in the future.
 +
 +In the future, if epic supports utf8 or the like, codepoints outside of the
 +range 0 to 255 would be supported.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +/* assume iso8859-1 character set */
 +$chr(3)                            return a ^C (color change attribute)
 +$chr($ascii(abcABC))               returns "abcABC"
