# Decode string with letters
# --------------------------

	#*************************************************************************************************************
	The subroutine decodes a string which uses letters like _DQUOTE_ to the Salang format.
	Note, the string might conatin _DOL_ (for $) but it is not converted!
	That means handle _DOL_ from case to case different. I.e. filter values are passed
	with _DOL_ encoding to the Salang function and then decoded by the main application.
	Returns a decoded string
