        Actually, what I intended was:
1.      Go to the page mentioned
2.      Use your web browser's built in search feature to search within the 
        page for "superpositions".

        Ok.  I think I see what Mr. Duff was suggesting.  He was wanting the 
result of each comparison added to the junction represented by $j0.  If this 
is possible, it'd cover it pretty well; not the optimal syntax, but 
considering how often most people would use it, probably not too important.  

        Or, we could have $truecount and $falsecount as junctions that 
automatically are set the way $j0 is set, and then we could use the junction 
functions on them (is there anything else which rhymes with junction? :) ).  

        :)
