Still another problem

This becomes another example for using the more transmittable forms.
Guessing that it should be:

if p is not equal to z then

It takes longer to write, but it improves the readability of the script
(more English-like) and when you share scripts, the transmittability
through the internet is not a problem.

I've switched from using all mathematical symbols to the english word
equivalents, because I think it reads better and I don't have to think
about the odd keystrokes. I think it reads a littIe less intimidating to
scriptors without a programming background. I don't even use "=" anymore.
I use "is" or "is equal to".
