You may have just lost $20: "=" is already an operator in Transcript (used as in Pascal, for comparison). When cavemen first invented programming languages, the big moment of d'oh! was after they'd proudly implemted "=" as an assignment operator only to realize they'd forgotten comparison. Rather than check their premise, they went the other direction and required two characters, since all the cool single-character operators had been used. So now "equals" means "put" and "put put" means "equals". :) -- 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
