     NAME: Copy

     USE: Function to return a portion of a string.  Copy takes 3 values,
          a string, a starting point, and the number of characters to copy.
          If the Starting point is greater then the string length then
          Copy will return an empty string.

     DEPENDENCY: None

     SYNTAX: Copy(StringVar, Start, NumCharacters);
             Copy(String, Integer, Integer);

     RESULT: String

     EXAMPLE:  Program TestCopy;
               Var
                  StringVar  : String;
                  SubStringA : String[10];
                  SubStringB : String[5];

               Begin
                  StringVar := 'This is a complete string';
                  SubStringAA := Copy(StringVar,1,7);
                  SubStringB := Copy(SubStringA,6,2);
                  Writeln(StringVar);
                  Writeln(SubStringA);
                  Writeln(SubStringB);
               end.
