risky. True is any non-zero value. If it comes back as 3 - unlikely, but
possible, you'll end up with a true value after the subtraction. Use:-

bSwitch = NOT oDisp ' VBscript (spit)

or

bSwithch = ! oDisp // jscript

it's also clearer in terms of code legibility to use a boolean expression
rather than a mathematical one.

Boolean values can always be switched using 1 - value. For example....

oDisp = GetValue ("Views.ViewD.TopCamera.camdisp.statsel")

bSwitch = 1 - oDisp;

SetValue "*.camdisp.statsel" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.statsel" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.intsel" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.playbacksel" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.statunselnear" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.intunselnear" , bSwitch
SetValue "*.camdisp.playbackunselnear", bSwitch

if bSwitch then
SetDisplayMode "Views.*.*", "shaded"
Else
SetDisplayMode "Views.*.*", "wireframe"
End if

These means alot less double code. It works like this...

true = 1
false = 0

1 - 0 = 1
1 - 1 = 0

P.S. Been a while since I have used VBS, hope this is right. There are
probably better ways to do this.. object model etc, I am just illustrating
the boolean point here.
