Subject: Ascii Character to Decimal Base 10 value

Greetings all,

I would like to know how one might convert a letter such as "H" to its 
corresponding ascii decimal value.  On the flip side, how might I take 
the decimal value and convert it back to the alpha-numeric 
representation.

Is there something simpler or better than using the String class 
each_byte() method?  I seem to recall there is a simple way to do just 
this, but can't find it in the docs.

Thanks,

Doug

PS: any ideas about doing this with Unicodes?
