Hi Alan,
A few minutes ago I posted my own temporary solution in message
"finally: effective vis"
before I was able to look at the Metacard digest 196 and your message.
There are some similarities in our solutions, among them breaking the
consecutive number
of "ofs" either by using brackets or by using more than one script line
in formulating the
condition.
I am still not sure, why
"if word 1 of the owner of fld j of cd i of the topstack is "group" and
the vis of the owner of fld j of cd i of the topstack is "false" then
..."
produces an error message - if the number of "ofs" should not be the
cause.
Anyway, there are workarounds.
Thanks very much for the detailed suggestions. I will try the scripts
and alternatives,
your compact "easiest way" of a script is very convincing.
Regards,
Wilhelm
