My brain isn't working at the moment. What's a very simple way to determine the sign of a variable?
I'm thinkinf of somehow using the ABS() function but


Ironically, it came to me as I typed this question!
If ABS(variable) = variable
  ;variable is positive (or zero?)
Else
  ;variable is negative
EndIf
