Comments from before the template conversion. Does not work with the types Boolean and Array. i.e. the arguments:  ? MyBoolean == true : hint "This is a test." and  ? MyArray == [] : hint "This is a test." ...will cause errors. Instead of the first line use:
 ? MyBoolean : hint "This is a test." The workaround for the second line is:
 ? (count MyArray) == 0 : hint "This is a test."

In OFP v1.96, comparison of strings is not case sensitive. Example : "STRINGtext" == "stringTEXT" returns true.
