These compete with Method 2:

>> copy/part mystring ((length? mystring) - 1)
== "12345"
>> copy/part mystring skip tail mystring -1
== "12345"
>> copy/part mystring at tail mystring -1
== "12345"

to save you five characters. :)
I admit this always makes me think there must
be a better way, apart from making your own
function.
