Boolean condition expression problems in FM 8

Hi,
We have a "comment" condition which should be hidden in the
final document and other conditions which should be shown.
However, here I ran into problems, when I have text which
has "comment" and another condition applied, and text with
"comment" should be hidden. I tried this:
o "draft"OR"print"OR"nursecall"ORNOT"comment" -> Text which
has "nursecall" and "comment" assigned is shown.
o "nurse call"ANDNOT"comment"OR"draft"OR"print" -> Text which
has "nursecall" and "comment" assigned is hidden. That's
exactly what I want and it works. Very good. However I cannot
explain why. Obviously the order is important. But I do not
want to try all possibilities.
In my oppinion I would need the option to group the single
elements in this expression. But that's not allowed.
And other condition issues:
o I have to close all condition windows when I want to do
something else. I cannot leave them open as before.
o When I select "Show All" and "Set" and then again an expression
my latest expression got lost.
o The FM documentation is not correct when it says: 5. Click
the AND, OR, or NOT button.
When I need "NOT" the result must be ANDNOT or ORNOT.
I miss examples.
And another minor annoyance: When in FM e.g. the paragraph
designer was active and I switch to another application and go
back to FM, FM 8 displays now only the paragraph designer. The
whole FM window should be shown.
Best regards
Winfried
