Jeroen,

Thx.  As I was looking on erlang.org in the docs for this - I was also
looking for ord and char like functions.  What are they called and
under what module?  I'm looking in the stdlib, but can't see them
anywhere.  i.e. ord("m") -> integer value and char(integer value) ->
some letter.

thx,

-wes
