ah, but, it was not wasted jackie! because, in martin's example, which was the only type I'd ever seen myself,
before I noted yours below, we had it such as it became necessary to start a new, let =sMessage + "newBit" type thing, as the concatination grew,as opposed to your way, which just continues the one let statement, with pluses on the next line! and I didn't know that could work, so that's heaps valuable to know too, as it seems somewhat simpler than having to restart the let statement every time you want a concatination.
