Suppose you have the code: if a = 1 and foo(bar) = 3 then do something Supposing a did not equal 1, then Euphoria would not bother to look at foo(), so foo() would not be executed. Sometimes you might be expecting foo() to do some work besides just returning a value to compare, and in this case, that work wouldn't get done. Hence the warning. Regards, Irv
