View Ref-FileMID$(a$,x[,y]) (as a function)

a$: sexp
x, y: iexp

The function MID$() returns y characters starting at position x of the string
a$. If x is larger than the length of a$ then a null string ("") is returned.
If y is omitted, the function returns the whole of the string from position x
onwards.

Example:

    a$="This is the GFA BASIC manual"
    b$=MID$(a$,13,9)+MID$("version 3",8)
    PRINT b$

--> On the screen, the text 'GFA BASIC 3' appears.
