Barb,

i wouldn't have done it this way, rather, i was just showing him how to
define named indicators.  which is why i then went on to describe binary
expressions that don't need " = *off" or " = true" or " = '0' "

like:

if    %open(file)

or

if    not %found(file)

or to really rock your worlds:

eval     $true = (not $true)

...flipping reality to fantasy (or back to reality again) in one fell swoop

;)

Using a variable to hold a constant doesn't seem like a good idea to
me.  It should be impossible (not just unwise) to do

       eval   true = '0'
