Worse, the same applies to the backslash, further complicating the problem for Rexx: Do you mean the standard backslash (E0) or the APL one (B7)? I've never understood why Mike gave us two bad choices for that operator and no good ones.
Would you prefer "!", prevalent in UNIX? Oops! That's a valid symbol (but not a variable name) in Rexx. I've sometimes fallen back to "1 - ( boolean_expr )" to avoid either "¬ ( boolean_expr )" or "\ ( boolean_expr )". Of course, this circumvents some validity checking: "01" is not detected as an invalid boolean value. -- gil
