  AND
       
           (Or "conjunction") The Boolean function which is
          true only if all its arguments are true.  The truth table
          for the two argument AND function is:
       
           A | B | A AND B
           --+---+---------
           F | F |    F
           F | T |    F
           T | F |    F
           T | T |    T
       
          AND is often written as an inverted "V" in texts on logic.  In
          the C programming language it is represented by the &&
          (logical and) operator.
