   Hi Derek. Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. I meant C's   
   conditional assignments of the form 7.13 of K&R:   
      
   conditional expression: expression ? expression : expression   
      
   I've never seen a way to implement this in one line of SNOBOL and if someone   
   did come up with a way I don't think it would be very obvious to anyone   
   reading it! I wonder if a pattern would work...   
      
   (goes off mumbling about bringing up an MVS system to try something in   
   SNOBOL4)
