I should not have to do a work around on a = simple arithmetic string ...

To make my = solution work, I have to check each incoming number to test for positive = or negative and then put it in the correct place in the = equation.

It is far simpler to just string them = all together with +/-

This is surely a bug in = the WebDNA engine
