  Actually, you can call_other() back to yourself.  So those aren't quite the
same thing.

  I like the Kernel Library method of making long strings of spaces, adding
them to the end of your string, and then indexing the string from 0 to
(numChars - 1).  If you need more efficient than that, you probably should
consider not doing it in LPC.  Then again, how many times per second are you
talking about doing it?
