Question: When using a stored template that returns 'True' if it matches certain criteria (psuedobools), I noticed these work the same:

Code:

program:
	if stored_returnstrueifvalid() == 'True' then 'output' fi

Code:

program:
	if stored_returnstrueifvalid() then 'output' fi

When do I need I keep the "== 'True'" bit?

Also, is there any good way to test two templates getting same results on a set of books aside from shuffling it between the tester and Notepad? I don't believe there's a way to have two tester instances open.
