%editc an expression

Amt is 9s,2 

ExtPrice$ is 14a

Amt = 50

C Eval Amt *= -1

C Eval ExtPrice$ = %editc( Amt: 'J': '$' ) 

Results as $50.00-.  Which is what I want to see.

 

C Eval ExtPrice$ = %editc(Amt * -1: 'J': '$') 

Results as $50.00.  (no minus sign)

Why is this?  What am I missing?  Something about the intermediate
result of the expression?

Thanks,
