Name
IsAlpha -- check if character is alphabetic (V7.0)
Synopsis
bool = IsAlpha(s$[, pos, encoding])
Function
Checks if the character at index pos inside string s$ is an alphabetic letter and returns True if it is, otherwise False. The optional pos parameter must be in characters, not in bytes. It defaults to 0 which will test the first character in s$.

The optional encoding parameter can be used to set the character encoding to use. This defaults to the default string encoding set using SetDefaultEncoding(). See Character encodings for details.
