Lay that confusion to rest, Bob.  Here’s a snip from release notes I found for 6.0.1:


From 6.0 DP 3 onwards, expressions such as 'tArray is empty' will be true if and only if tArray contains the empty string.

For example:
put empty into tArray
answer tArray is empty -- true put 100 into tArray["foo"]
answer tArray is empty -- false (prior to 6.0 this would be 'true')
