Evaluating opinions - FilePro Error Messages

[John Esak]

Mark,
I mentioned before... look at the obfuscated code I wrote for a joke in
fPDJ... you can do just about anything and filePro will interpret things as
it should... Certainly:

     if: eq eq or

is just fine assuming eq and or are variables...
