Hi Richard, - Original Message - From: Richard Gaskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2001 2:03 PM Subject: Order of precedence conundrum When I put this in the Message Box: put value( true AND false AND true OR NOT true AND NOT false ) I get false. To get true, shouldn't the first AND be an OR? Like this: put value( true OR false AND true OR NOT true AND NOT false ) I could simply misunderstand how this works, but it seems to me that (true AND false) can only be evaluated as false. If that's the case, statement 3 would read: 3.false AND true OR falseAND true ---- ...which would make the difference. I'm open to correction here - that's just how I see it.

start usng libURL didn't work?
I set up a small test with 2.4A2 on mouseUp start using libURL put URL http://www.whatever.org; into fld catchHTML end mouseUp I didn't work. What did I do wrong? To eliminate the possibility of connection problems I turned right around and tested, in 2.3.2 simply on mouseUp put URL http://www.whatever.org; into fld catchHTML end mouseUp and it worked fine...
