I thought this worked, but it does not

[Jeff Harrison]

Hmm, I just got bitten by the total function again.  I thought that you
could use this function to total up different things based on a condition,
but it did not work the way I expected.  Here is some sample processing and
data that demonstrates this.

Data:

Field1(30,*)	Field6(3,.0)	Field7(3,.0)
"T"			"1"			"2"
"X"			"1"			"2"

Processing:
:1 eq "T":aa=tot(6):
:1 ne "T":aa=tot(7):
::end:              
@wgt:::             
::msgbox "aa="<aa:  
::end:              
::aa(3,.0):         

The msgbox function shows aa as "2", although I would expect it to be "3"

Is this a feature?  Aren't you supposed to be able to do this?
