Ive been wondering about this. Could RSI please get this kind of stuff
into their documents? As a C programmer, I've been used to 0 or not 0 logic.
Also, you could mention that all your logical operations are bitwise (I think),
e.g "and" is "&" not "&&".

As a general comment to RSI, your manuals seem written for the casual,
scientist-type (i.e. non-programmer). Sort of a "dont confuse them" attitude.
Your language description is woefully vague to the eyes (ears?) of this
programmer. How about a "programmer's description" of the language?
