That *would* be sensible, but FM doesn't seem to allow parens in these
expressions. It turns out that the NOT, when used within an expression,
must be followed by AND .. and they must not be separated by a space. As
in ..
"Condition A" OR "Condition B" OR "Condition C" OR "Condition D" ANDNOT
"Condition E"
Nice, eh?

Personally I would include parentheses to clearly indicate what the NOT
clause applies to. For example,
( "Condition A" OR "Condition B" OR "Condition C" OR "Condition D" ) NOT
"Condition E"
is quite different than
"Condition A" OR "Condition B" OR "Condition C" OR ( "Condition D" NOT
"Condition E" )
I suspect that Frame is generating the message because of the ambiguity
of what NOT applies to.
