Actually '==' is not an assignment. It is a case-insensitive test:

   Print "Gambas is Great" = "gambas is great" ' Prints False
   Print "Gambas is Great" == "gambas is great" ' Prints True

The '=' operator is used for both assignment and testing depending on the context. This means that you cannot do an assignment 
(even in parentheses) within the conditional part of a test statement such as IF, WHILE, and UNTIL.
