IF statement doesn't work

yeah I need this and it gives the following error in 2.5.4 on an EMPTY file except for a test statement such as shown in the snippet...




IF [X EQ 1] THEN Y = 2

or you can try this:

IF [X EQ 1] Y = 2
ENDIF

or this:

IF [X EQ 1] THEN Y = 2
ENDIF

The error is totally unrelated to the statement... looks like a parsing issue. note that this parser is REALLY lax in picking up bad syntax as well. don't have the time to delve through the source so looks like a reload of the OS to return to an earlier version...

did that work on an earlier version?

I think if statements have to be in a O subroutine.

also I don't think axis letters are read as variables, you need to use the parameter that matches the axis.
and instead of Y=2 it should be g1 y2.

as far as I know, I may be wrong.
