[foxboro] A new Foxview/FoxDraw question

I trying to do the following in a Foxview display.

If C:B.P = 1 set P1 = PID1
otherwise set P1 = PID2

The book says
== `C:B.P` 1            is the correct way to test if the value of C:B.P = 1
and we know
= P1 X                  put the literal X into the P1 variable

But when I try to put the following in as a Foxview dmcmd line

== `C:B.P` 1 = P1 PID1 else = P1 PID2

I never get PID1 or PID2 in the P1 variable. It is always NULL.




Anyone done something like this before?  Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
David

PS: still no idea why different OSes yield different looking displays.
