RE: Shorthand Syntax (was XFoot with Qualified DS's)

Mike,

I didn't understand any of them after the += and the -=.  However I would 
RTFM before asking that question.

Oh, I just tried that, no luck.

I then assume that a**=b is the same as a = a**b  or if a was 2 and b was 
3 a=2**3 or a= (2x2x2) or a=8

Call me naive, but what does 'a **= b;' do?

a += b;
a -= b;
a *= b;
a /= b;
a **= b;

Done!
