   Of course, your superior logic is obvious. I've decided
to take your approach. I now call all functions "And".
Though I'm having trouble with one of them. I decided
that I want And(x,y) to return x + (y * Pi). But it's not
working. If I use the format And(x,y) I get a syntax error.
If I use the format x And y the return is not right. For
example, 1 And 3 returns 1. What's wrong with this stupid
language?! I don't want it to return 1....

  Maybe there's a problem with "And" itself. I'll try
"On Error" and see if that works better. My plan is to
make an entire set of math and filesystem functions,
like so:  s = On Error("C:\file1.txt")

  If I can teach WSH that I want that to return file
content as a string then I won't have to deal with
that tedious Textstream....

  Come to think of it, though, Textstream is a nice
name. Maybe I'll use that for all the math functions.
But 1 Textstream 3 had better return 10.42 or I'm
quitting.
