I'd second that, Phil. The fact that you think "or" can be overloaded (it can't, really) makes me think that the real problem might turn out to be a little different than the way you described it. TED is right -- we can tell you the syntax for fully qualifying "=", but posting some source code with interleaved compiler error messages would help us make sure you aren't barking up the wrong tree.
