Because the syntax is "an+b" with comments on special cases of a=0, b=0 and negative a, but no mention of a special case of negative b. So if b was negative and the syntax was maintained it would be "an+-b". Besides the negative values of b are redundant, so I expect the exclusion of them to be deliberate. ` Allan
