Hmmm, odd, that's twice now... you and Mark could have typed the code into a
test file and tested it with the @keyT faster than it probably took you to
cut and paste your response into an email and mail it. and if you're
checking for errors like this... shouldn't it be _shouldn't_ ??  :-) :-)
Just kidding George, but your question is pretty much _exactly_ why I wrote
the thing as a 15 second snippet you could try in IUA... becuase it _does_
sort of appear wrong at first glance, doesn't it.

Perhaps, if I put a couple unneccessay parns in..


             Then: mid(aa,"40" - (len(ab)/"2"),len(ab))=ab

it would be more readable... but it is just following the standard
convention for precedence of math operations.
