Errors Attempting to assign a multi-character string as character results in an error because Frontier cannot coerce a multiple-character string to be a character.
Notes This verb returns true if the parameter is not a number or letter and is a visible, printable character, because it's a wrapper for the Standard C Library "ispunct" function.

This verb also returns true for all high-ASCII characters (e.g. characters produced with the option key on Mac OS).
