Description
The If .. Then .. Else statements are used to conditionally execute commands based on the value of an
expression.

If ('x' == 1) Then Cue 1 Go
The above example first checks the value of the variable x, and if it is equal to 1, then Cue 1 is executed.
On the other hand, if x is not equal to 1, then nothing will happen. Since no commands are present after the
"Cue 1 Go", an EndIf is not necessary.
See the section on Expressions
statement.
Using Else
The Else keyword can be used to execute commands if the expression is false. Consider this example:
