+======Synopsis:======
+$[[chr]](<list of codepoints>)
+======Technical:======
+The [[chr]] function converts a word list of codepoints into a sequence of
+characters.  Because EPIC only supports latin-1 at this time, only the
+codepoints 0 to 255 provide defined behavior.  Other codepoints will yield
+one character per codepoint, but the character is undefined.
+For backwards compatability, [[chr]] accepts the values (-1 to -128) to be
+equivalent to (128 to 255).  This is not guaranteed in the future.
+In the future, if epic supports utf8 or the like, codepoints outside of the
+range 0 to 255 would be supported.
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+/* assume iso8859-1 character set */
+$chr(3)                            return a ^C (color change attribute)
+$chr($ascii(abcABC))               returns "abcABC"
