CHR$ returns a one-character string whose ASCII code is the argument.
 
CHR$(code%)
 
Usage Notes
    ■ CHR$ is commonly used to send a special character to the screen
      or printer. For example, you can send a form feed (CHR$(12))
      to clear the screen and return the cursor to the home position.
    ■ CHR$ also can be used to include a double quotation mark (") in a
      string:
 
        Msg$=CHR$(34)+"Quoted string"+CHR$(34)
 
      This line adds a double-quotation-mark character to the beginning and
      end of the string.
