Thanks, Razzak.
I think it's worth pointing out that, if variable X=('John'+CHAR(160)+'Doe
loves RBase'), then (SSUB(.X,-2))='loves' even though variable X looks like
'John Doe loves RBase'.

Clive and Stepehen,
Yes, that is the correct "hard space" when using R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 for Windows.
All String Manipulation Functions in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 should also recognize
that "hard space" accordingly.
Very Best R:egards,
