PURPOSE: To return the requested part of a given string.
REMARKS: The function returns a string of length q characters from m$ beginning with the pth character. If q is
equal to zero, or p is greater than the length of m$, then MID$ returns a null string.
If q is omitted, then a string from position p to the end of m$ is returned.
