   craig:

   It's just a warning message that the program will
   by-pass some code ( short-circuit ) the first time a condition
   is met, rather than continuing on thru the rest of a statement.
   This makes code run faster.
   I personaly think that it is a unnecessary and is anoying for the
   interpeter to report it because its obvious.
   If you read the REFERENCE doc you will find it explained in there.

   To shut it off you have to use without warning statement.
