[pmwiki-users] more WikiSh noob

[Peter & Melodye Bowers]

My mistake here.  I will release later tonight with a fix for this problem.
I simply neglected to allow for the fact that '0' is equivalent to a Boolean
false so it never tried to calculate a substring.

Let me know if the new release does not fix the problem.
