Eval #text = 'this' + 'that' will result in #text having 8 characters of
stuff followed by blanks to the length of #text.  Let's sat #text is 10
long: 'thisthat  '  Note that #text has 10 characters in it; the last two
are blanks.

Eval #text = #text + 'this' will result in #text having 10 characters of
blanks followed by ... wait a minute, #text is only 10 long.  It can't have
anything after it.  This is equivalent to 
#text cat 'this' #text.  You can't add to the end if you're past the end.

Eval #text = %trim(#text) + 'this' will result in #text having 4 characters
of stuff followed by 6 characters of blanks.  That's because %trim() removes
the blanks.  This is equivalent to 
#text cat 'this':0 #text.

Hope that helped.
