I know my syntax is valid; the script that that is embedded in (runs to
about 2080 lines - a real 'horror') works
[ something that never ceases to surprise me ]
However, it is BAD English.

what I wanted to 'say' by
if fld "fXXX" and fld "fZZZ" is empty
was
if fld "fXXX" is empty and fld "fZZZ" is empty
and, indeed that is what I intended to type at 2 am last night, but
Morpheus was hard
at work wrapping me in his coils, so it came out the way it did;
notwithstanding Morpheus, obviously the Lar of RunRev saved me . . . :)
