Well, you don't really need the 'chr' method, which is a method of class
Integer.  As long as you know about the negative indices, you can also
write

    str[-1, 1]

This is related to item 5 in the newcomers' list
(http://www.glue.umd.edu/~billtj/ruby.html#Getting%20characters%20from%20a%20String)

Bill
