I notice that "stringtoint" does not allow operation of alpha chars. Only numeric chars. Do we have a method of doing that?

What are you trying to achieve?

For example 'A' do you want 10 (hex value) or 65 ASCII value?

Sure - I would like to stringtoint$("A") to have an outcome of 41 (I think that's the equate).

Currently I am achieving this with the function compare with "". That seems to give me an equivalency.

Wouldn't it be great to use stringtoint$ to get the equivalent decimal?

If you want the ASCII value 'A' = 65 = 0x41

So for a string : in a calculation block

Will get the value of the first character of the string

Or if you just want the value of a character
note the single quote ' instead of double quote "

You can use a character constant instead of a constant to make your code more readable to check if c is a digit for example
