//  In the above string the a-z letters have the same 1-byte values in the GSM character set.
//  The '@' character is the 0x00 byte in GSM.
//  The curly brace chars are 2-bytes each in GSM -- each beginning with the 0x1B escape char.
//  The '.', ' ', and ',' are the same in GSM as us-ascii.

//  Let's convert to GSM.

//  bdGsm will contain the GSM bytes.
oBdGsm := CreateObject("Chilkat.BinData")

//  Append the string to bdGsm.  The 2nd arg "gsm" tells AppendString to
//  convert the incoming string to the gsm byte representation.

//  Let's examine what we have in hex:
? oBdGsm:GetEncoded("hex")

//  The result is:  737570706F7274006368696C6B6174736F66742E636F6D2C201B286162631B29

//  Save the GSM bytes to a file.
