Subject: false

I guess I don't understand the concept of false. I wanted to set flag in
my script manually. At first I

flag = true

and all was well. later I ran a test
if flag

But when I set the flag to false (flag=false), the script doesn't work
correctly. If test before the "if flag" don't evaluate correctly.

Work around is easy enough, just use a string or number for the
variable.

But I think I'm missing something fundamental here. As you may have
already guessed, I don't have a programming background.

Thanks
