Though it doesn't show in the quoted message above (stupid mailer) in 
the original message it looked like the string was padded with blanks. 
Is that correct?  What does

  clear y
  y('adbc') = '1234';
  abs (y)

show?  Does it fill with blanks (ASCII 32)?  Octave fills with 0 and 
then doesn't display the NUL character.
