Quote:is not reliable when used with strings. That it works at all is coincidental, not intentional.
o this means that all earlier coding that includes += should be changed, is that correct?
Did I miss an announcement that said DO NOT USE "+=" because it is unreliable?
Will sample code in the manuals be modified?
Ah, just noticed the reference to "strings". Does this imply that it is reliable with math?

Would be good to be able to do a Mass Update to my programming.
Hmm, I can use Regular Expressions to do that, like this:
Find:
^(.*)\+=Replace with:
\1 = \1 \+But, Sesame does not support RegEx replacements, so all I can do in Sesame is to locate the defective expressions. So, for now I must export the program file to an editor that supports RegEx with replacements, run the RegEx Search/Replace, and import the file back in again.
PS - I just did that, and was able to do a global replacement. Now I just need to go through all forms created in the past, export them, replace strings, and import them.
Maybe include RegEx replacement capablilties in future release?
