Nice.  Exactly what I was looking for.
I knew I was missing something tiny.

Now I just need to figure out why that works and I can say I've learned something!
Thanks guys,
Jude

Are you trying to convert a single-digit number?

import std.stdio;
void main() {
   int x = 5; // in [0 .. 10]
   char c = cast(char)(x + '0');
   writeln(c);
}
