Mike,

There are lots of ways to skin this cat. One way is just to wrap the line like this:

IF CONDITION1 = RESULT1 ;
    AND CONDITION2 = RESULT2 ;
    AND CONDITION3 = RESULT3 ;
    ... ;
    AND CONDITION23 = RESULT23
  lcReturn = .t.
ELSE
  lcReturn = .f.
ENDIF

Another way is by use of a CASE statement:

lcReturn = .f.
DO CASE
  CASE CONDITION1 # RESULT1
  CASE CONDITION2 # RESULT2
  CASE CONDITION3 # RESULT3
  CASE ...
  CASE CONDITION23 # RESULT23
  OTHERWISE
    lcReturn = .t.
ENDCASE

HTH,
Chad
