I must admit, it got my attention pretty fast!  I'm still new at using 
this implied true/false stuff.  I used to always use the If X=1 or If 
N<>0, but I thought that maybe I had mis-understood something...whew!

BTW, this is totally off topic - but I am including it with a calc 
topic so it isn't totally spam. Is there anyone out there that wants 
to play a game of chess over the email?
