793.0. "What is a 'lemma'" by UILA::WHORLOW (D R A B C = action plan) Wed May 02 1990 07:14

    G'day,
    
     There I was - a choice to make - what a dilemma....
    
    Then it happened......
    
    
    
    I had a choice of three - was this a trilemma?
    
    and if I had to take it, was that a lemma?
    
    derek
