Code:

T:=U(1,DIM(U)-(RIGHT(U,1)=="S"))

I like it! It's elegant and slightly obscure depending on the fact that a test for equality returns 1 if true. I wasn't aware you could extract substrings using an indexing scheme like that without using string functions (it's the same method used in ISO Full BASIC). This will simplify my programs considerably. Thanks!
