--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
FTR:

In StarBasic, Chr works differently in Option VBASupport mode (where only 0-255
are valid).

MS documentation [1] mentions that Chr takes *Long*, while our documentation
[2] states it takes Integer. Btw: see MS documentation about extended Chr range
in some locales.

Possibly it actually makes sense to allow it taking negative values in
non-VBASupport mode. Then passing valid positive integers (in range 0 - 65535)
would be treated normally, and negatives (in -1 - -32768) mapped to positive
values - i.e. what is Stephan is doing in his patch. But shouldn't that be
documented then?
