See there? I did have an error! That should be len(IntToString) and
not len(answer) there. (In functions that have a very long name, I
usually have a result clause and the name ANSWER is what I always
use. Except for recursive functions I never otherwise use result
clauses.) If only I had noticed that error 2 minutes earlier. :-(
