added a couple lines about translating the numbers from ASCII to text, which give you the letter 'm'

actually the highest in ASCII is 127; there's more in the ANSI character set, which goes to 255.

Sorry, I'm just a super nerd, it's my job.
How the 'm' came about is because 936557 modulo 128 = 109 = ascii code for 'm'. Just a quirk of how that particular decoder was written.
