According to Dr. Raney himself in a discussion on the MetaCard list some years ago, this is a feature. He noted the efficiency it affords, since you can often do only one evaluation and rule out the need for the others. FWIW, his documentation doesn't mention it either. :) Jeanne usually does a great job of expanding discussion of tokens beyond the old MC docs, but after 3,000+ pages on everything else it seems this one is merely on par. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
