        You're right James. I saw that from your earlier letter that I
received after I sent mine -- the 'if' has a higher precedence than the
comma and both statements are executed conditionally. And I agree with your
earlier letter that it is better to break those into two statements and
enclose them within an 'if' block -- much cleaner that way.

        Thanks for clearing that up!
