/*  chrarg  --  parse character and return its index
 *
 *  Usage:  i = chrarg (ptr,brk,prompt,legals,defalt);
 *	int i;
 *	char **ptr,*brk,*prompt,*legals,defalt;
 *
 *  Chrarg will parse an argument from the string pointed to by "ptr",
 *  bumping ptr to point to the next argument.  The first character
 *  of the arg will be searched for in "legals", and its index
 *  returned; if it is not found, or if there is no argument, then
 *  getchr() will be used to ask the user for a character.
 *  "Brk" is the list of characters which may terminate an argument;
 *  if it is 0, then " " is used.
