[Biojava-l] Getting a base from an alignment (way to complex?)

Hi All,
I've generated an alignment and I am retrieving positions within the
alignment using
Symbol base = alignment.symbolAt(label, i);
I am trying to get whether the base at this position is G, A, T or C
However when I use base.getName() it returns strings such as "thymine"
The documentation states that the method getToken should also be
available, but this returns method undefined. http://www.biojava.org/docs/api15/org/biojava/bio/symbol/Symbol.html
Is there a simple way of retrieving a one letter textual
representation of the symbol?
Many thanks
Anthony
