JR>   (A & B & C) or (D or E or F)

JR>   What happens if you 5 alternatives or more as I do on one filter?

Let me try and show you the same set first: On the first page is this
     _________________________________
    |A_________________|??_____|Yes___|
    |B_________________|??_____|Yes___|
    |C_________________|??_____|Yes___|

and then, on the Alternatives, we have two sets
     _________________________________
    |D_________________|??_____|Yes___|
    |E_________________|??_____|Yes___|


     _________________________________
    |F_________________|??_____|Yes___|

That makes (A AND B AND C) OR (D AND E) OR (F).

To get (A & B & C) or (D or E or F) on the first page is this
     _________________________________
    |A_________________|??_____|Yes___|
    |B_________________|??_____|Yes___|
    |C_________________|??_____|Yes___|

and then, on the Alternatives, we have *three* sets
     _________________________________
    |D_________________|??_____|Yes___|

     _________________________________
    |E_________________|??_____|Yes___|

     _________________________________
    |F_________________|??_____|Yes___|


JR>   What happens if you 5 alternatives or more as I do on one filter?

If  they're  in  a  block  they're all ANDed. If they're all separate,
they're all ORed.
