And another thing:  I'm guessing that character 96 & 123 (or whatever they
were) are 'a' and 'z', respectively.

You can use the characters themselves in your program:

if (string[i] >= 'a') and (string[i] <= 'z')
	then ...


even better, you can use a set of the characters between 'a' and 'z':

if (string[i] in ['a'..'z'])
	then ...


Hang in there - you've made a good start!
