Hello.
I would like to suggest, @zep, please, that you add the cursor's X-location to the editor.
There is some screen real estate not being used HERE:

This would help me as I'm now working on some data tables of different lengths across.
Additionally a way of getting the true length of a string before converting it to untypables.
For instance:
a="\48\0" ?#a ?truelen(a) |
2
5
Is there room for a 3rd request ?
The other is more technical. I'd like this:
\07
to convert to chr(0).."7" instead of chr(7).
For instance if you want chr(0) and chr(7) it would be: \0\7
or \0⁷
or chr(7) by itself would be, \7
or ⁷
\00543
would convert to chr(0).."0543" instead of "63"
Quite simply do not allow a prefix zero to be included in a numerical argument "\" for P8SCII or lower ASCII commands. A "\0" always denotes chr(0). This is only true for CHR(0), no other, "\111" for instance does not give chr(1)..chr(1)..chr(1), it gives "O" (letter oh).
Naturally normal \
without a prefix of zero is fine.
\48
= "0"
\64
= "@"
\13
= chr(13) or \r
etc.
But once again something like, \013
would not return a CR but chr(0).."13"
