Hi Don,


Oh i guess it's working then.

'OR' means to logically 'or' all of the flags together:
x=OR({1,2,4})
--now x would equal (1 or 2 or 4) which comes out to 7.

This is almost the same as adding them:
x=1+2+4
except if one flag contains the same bits as another flag adding wont
work, while OR() will still work ok.  That's why OR is better.

BTW, 'OR' is the same as 'or_all' in WinLib, if it's still called that :)


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
