The or Command
The "or" operator combines two conditions into one, which will be true if either side is true, and false if both are false. You can create these conditions with the relational operators =, ≠, >, ≥, <, and ≤, with functions such as 68k:isPrime(), 68k:pxlTest(), and 68k:ptTest(), or with any other expression that returns 'true' or 'false'. Other operators for dealing with conditions are 68k:and, 68k:xor, and 68k:not.
:2+2=4 or 1=0
true
:2+2=5 or 1+1=3
false
The operator can also be applied to integers, treating them as 32-bit signed integers (larger integers will be truncated to fit) expressed in binary. The bits will be matched up, and "or" will be applied to the bits individually — a bit in the result will be 1 if either of the two corresponding bits of the original integers was 1, and 0 otherwise.

In complicated logical expressions (both with conditions and with integers), "and" has greater priority than the others ("or" and "xor"). For instance, X or Y and Z will be interpreted as X or (Y and Z).
