OK, I'll bite...
I don't understand how/why the scalars are getting alpha characters assigned to them from the numbers input.

Please help for those of us that have only gotten through the llama!

EDIT:
What causes it to 'translate' to the chars? i.e. What if I wanted the $a to store the IP address 1.2.3.4?
