The conditional tags are what made me investigate further... Now here's a
question for you: can you make it so I can specify something like this:
{dbname<>"":}Current DB:{dbname}{:dbname} -- if dbname is not blank, use it
{dbname=}No DB Open{:dbname}
That's for demo only... I'm not suggesting you use <>"" to indicate emptiness.
IOW, there's no way currently (I think) to act if the conditional is not
blank. I don't want to have to specify every case, because there's no way
to determine that up front. If there's a way to do this with the current
library, please lemme know! :)

As you probably noticed, the conditional tag is like a switch-statement:
you can only check for fixed values, you can't check if a value is set.
But, if you need such functionality, I can implement it.

I've just designed a simple mascotte. You can find it in 2 versions (GIF & PNG)

What do you think about it? Any suggestions?

I'd like to see a smile at least... something that would convey,
"Wow! Kanarie is easy AND fun!" Right now he/she looks apathetic. :)

Instead of the FUN factor, I'll try to express the COOL factor.
I'll try a new bird, with sunglasses, and then I could use a slogan like:
" All the cool kids use KTS. Don't you want to be cool? "

I thought of a way around it, but it isn't perfect... I could initialize all
the fields/variables with a value such as "none" or somesuch, then test for
that.
fields = { "none","none","none","none" }
{currdb="none":}No DB selected.{currdb:}
{currdb=:}{currdb} is selected.{currdb:} -- else case
What do you think?

Isn't it already possible the following way, using Kanarie's 'else'?
~dbname="":~ -- if dbname is blank
-- do nothing
~:dbname=:~ -- else
do what you want here
~:dbname

What you could do: use 2 fields: currdb and has_currdb.
When you set currdb to a value, you also set has_currdb to "yes" or "true".
Then you can do this:
{has_currdb=yes:}{currdb} is selected. {* if has_currdb = "yes" *}
{:has_currdb=:}No DB selected.{:has_currdb} {* else *}

I don't think so. I think it would test if dbname equaled "\"\"" in Euphoria
code...

I hope you're going to give me the test for NULL! :)
If not, I'll use one of the alternative methods. >:(

On further review, I think you should add a tail and a wing.
