Your Carharts...

...should have to be checked in!

I just finished reading my National Physical Therapy Exam again courtesy of the FSBPT. 5 hours of stress, headache, and suicidal ideation and I decided to take a few days off!  Flying from Cody to Denver for the first time. Hard not to chuckle a little at the stacks of carhart jackets and boots people are trying to squeeze into those little plastic bins. 

6am flight. That's all I have today.

Can Anybody Help Me?

Want a checkbox to write this sentence (a very small portion of a much larger project) and it's not working... Any ideas??? Much longer (non-functioning) version here: MvtDscROUGH

Does anyone reading know PAXScript?



var FOXTROT,NOTES:String;
function LowerFirst( InStr: String ): String;
begin result := LowerCase( Copy(Instr,1,1) ) + Copy(Instr,2,1000);

SF.AssignFieldText('ExamMeasurement','ZZTRNSNOTE',FOXTROT+NOTES); END; END;
