I'm new here, but I'm pretty sure that the answer is to use the compare()
function.  Using your example:

> sequence a,b

> a = "fred"
> b = "bob"
>
> if a = b then

change that line to be:

 if compare(a, b) = 0 then
>     puts(1,"they are the same\n")
> else
>     puts(1,"they are not the same\n")
> end if

I tested it, and it seems to work...
