| I was reading this and wondered what would happen with the interpreter if
| it saw:
| 
|      IF:  1 eq or
| 
| If 'or' is a dummy field, how would this react?  
| 
| Better still, given a dummy 'eq':
| 
|      IF:  1 eq or or 2 eq eq
| 
| Does fP protect itself against false interpretation of dummy fields as
| logical operators?  I don't think I've ever had occasion to try fooling it.

It would do absolutely nothing, given that little parenthetical
"3-characters or longer"...
