Re: contains operator
Actually since your are saying c is NOT among the CHARS of "abc" Then it is false. C is among the Chars of abc but the expression asks if it is Not among and that is false cause it is.

It is the only predicate operator that does not have a negative syntax. By predicate, I mean an operator that typically is used on other than true/false and returns true/false. Relations are good examples. Uh, look at the logical operators in "Transcript Language Dictionary" and skip and/or/not.
