[DGD]Adding character to string

[Frantisek Fuka]

I have this problem with DGD 1.2. The solution is probably very simple 
but I couldn't come up with anything elegant and it drives me mad.

I need to be able to get the character according to its ASCII number. 
For example, if I have string str = "foo" and integer num = 65, i need 
to somehow do (str + (char)num) and get "fooA", but I keep getting 
"foo65" and I can find no function to convert 65 to "A". I know it can 
be done by doing
str = "foo?"; str [3] = num; /* replaces '?' with 'A' */
but that seems cumbersome to me. Specifically, I need to use the 
following function for translating all output from one character coding 
to other so it has to be quick and elegant (it also adds '\x0D' before 
each "\n" because i use binary port for output):

string out;
out = "";
for (i=0; i<strlen(msg); i++) {
if (msg[i] == '\n') out += '\x0D';
out += (msg[i] >= 128) ? charset_output[msg[i]-128] : msg[i];
}

Unfortunately, instead of character (for example 'A'), the string "65" 
is being added to 'out' variable.

Any help is appreciated.
