Re: %and, %or, and the return value of assignment

     | we would have loved to do this, except that it would have turned
     | 
     | 	if {test -s errors} {openfile errors} {rm -f errors}
     | into
     | 	if @{test -s errors} @{openfile errors} @{rm -f errors}
     
     Actually, I kind of like that, but in any event you could keep the
     former syntax if you adopt normal order evaluation rather than
     applicative order evaluation.  

Guys, could you use little words please? Or last least explain this sort of
terms before you use them?
