Subject: Question about ? operator for ASCII

Hello,
	I am a nuby and I couldn't find how to get the ASCII value of a 
character in a variable.  I looked in the Pragmatic Programmer and did this:

s = "ABC DE."
s.scan( /./ ) do |a|
      puts ?a
end

but only got the ASCII value of the small letter 'a' ( 97 ).  What do I 
need to do?
	Thanks,
		Barry
