Here is a common use for curly braces that was already part of Pan 3.

You have a form with a Text object. There you wish to combine some  
static text with a calculated value or string. Then you have to use  
curly braces surrounding the formula within the text of this object.

You can make use of the "Build Formula …" command in the Text menu.  
You get an Dialog. There you can access the Fields and the Functions  
menu, and Panorama will set the curly braces for you.

Here is an example:
Last import:  {vDocument+" imported in"+vDate}
where vDocument and vDate are variables, defined to contain the name  
of the imported document and the import date in a date pattern.
The form shows then:
Last import: BKZ_0408.txt imported in April 2008

There are more uses for curly braces.
Maybe Dave can and will explain more about them.
