Re: 82 Prob.

You haven't done much basic programming yet :-).

IF/THEN/END works just like that. The goto 0 business is useless here.

use of the IF statement.

IF <condition>
:Statement1

Statement 1 only get's executed when the IF condition is true.
if the IF condition is false, it SKIPS the next command.

NB:

:IF <condition>
:Statement1:Statement2

will NOT skip over Statement 2. you can only execute one command.

the IF/THEN/ELSE/END one:

:IF <condition>
:THEN
:<statementsA...>
:ELSE
:StatementsB...>
:END

That bit runs statementsA if the condition is true, and
StatementsB if the condition is false.

in other words, make your Lbl 0 statement END, and delete the Goto 0
statements.

IF T>10
THEN
blahblahblah.....
END

since there is no code for your ELSE block, you can leave the
ELSE keyword out.
