The "then" is, though, required (at least according to the BNF grammar I found; I don't remember it being that way), just as it is in most BASIC dialects and derivatives; in C, Java, and the ALGOLs (including Pascal), there isn't a "then," but the condition must be in parentheses (I like the "then" better, myself). Fortran, of course, has the old logical and numeric IF statements that didn't take a THEN, and the (Fortran 77?) IF THEN ELSE statement. -- JHHL
