Andreas,

Ok I went to look at it, and found it to be not as bad as I thought, sorry
about that. 

An example of the problem is: 'Hi ', 1 asCharacter asString, 'there'.  

I saw it often and assumed incorrectly that it was a larger problem.  The
problem is with 1 asCharacter.  The rest appear to work.

Thanks for looking at it,

Ron Teitelbaum
