Re: %editc an expression

I wonder what happens if you put the Amt * -1 in parentheses?

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

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,
