    Description

    MidStr returns a string containing the first ACount bytes from the string AText starting at position AStart. If AStart+ACount is larger than the length (in characters) of AText, only as many characters as available are returned. If AStart is less than 1 or larger than the length of AText, then no characters are returned.

    This function is equivalent to the standard Copy function, and is provided for completeness only.
