How to address part of a string

[Jerry Wang]

Hello,
 
I'm new to scilab, so please excuse the simple question.  (I had searched a few hours and can't find answer)
 
How do I address part of a string?
 
For example:
 
myString = "abcdefg"
How do I get characters 4:6, which would be"def"?
 
Thank you.
 
Jerry
