where's the logic?

<Horshack> Ooh!  Ohh! Oooooh!  Mr. Radleeyyyy!</Horshack>

You're testing against a eq " ".  That's a space.  Given the
right-justified nature of the expression in the debugger, it's matching
true on the leading space, because filePro doesn't do exact matching, it
does lead matching of the shorter field.  

Test on "" and also push out all spaces:

If:  ""{a{"" eq "" or ""{a{"" eq "0"

Pretty sure I'm either right, or on the right track.
