Is that right?   are you saying that without the (), the not applies to all
of the boolean expressions in the if statement?

I have a working piece of code that goes as follows:

  if        (not Dwildcard           and
                 hrmDir <> *blanks   and
                 hrmDir <> ListName)
..do something..
  end

notice, the 'not' on the boolean (n) variable, combined with compares
(which resolve to a boolean yes or no, correct?)  if I get what you are
saying, then what the above really means is:

  if         not (Dwildcard and hrmDir <> *blanks and hrmDir <> ListName)
?

and how about this?

    if        not Fwildcard   and
              not Dwildcard
.. do something...
    end

if the beginning 'not' applies to all the boolean expressions in the
statement, does it reverse the second 'not'?  or does it mean:

    if        not (Fwildcard and not Dwildcard)
?

until just now, I didn't think this was such a hard concept to understand.
now i'm so confused.... ;)
