Description:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu7.html (and others)
The documentation makes use of ASCII incorrectly in a number of places. There is no guarentee that a char or string necessarily contains ASCII values. At best the docs should say, instead of "its ASCII value", something along the lines of "its character code (typically an ASCII value)". Especially when refering to characters such as #145, calling it an ASCII character is entirely erroneous since ASCII only includes 7 bit characters.
