Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

The [[MKS$]] function encodes a [[SINGLE]] numerical value into a 4-byte [[ASCII]] [[STRING]] value.
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|result$}} = [[MKS$]]({{Parameter|singlePrecisionVariableOrLiteral#}})
{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|singlePrecisionVariableOrLiteral#}} is converted to four ASCII characters. To see this in action, try {{InlineCode}}PRINT MKS$(1345678){{InlineCodeEnd}}.
* [[SINGLE]] values can range up to 7 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.
* [[MKS$]] string values can be converted back to SINGLE numerical values using the [[CVS]] function.
* [[SINGLE]] numerical variable values [[PUT]] into a [[BINARY]] file are automatically placed as an [[MKS$]] [[ASCII]] string value.
