Hi Richard,
Thanks for the note on ELSEIF. I quite often use the CASE TRUE construction, which is very nice, but I can see that using ELSEIF...THEN; might also work well to make multiple choices clear.
I see that there is one use of it in the wiki - is that enough to earn ELSEIF a brief mention in the manual?
Best wishes,
D

It is already there. ELSEIF is just ELSE IF and is therefore documented under ELSE and IF. It's a standard feature of BBC BASIC, which you could use even on the BBC Micro:
Code:
IF condition1 PROCdosomething ELSEIF condition2 PROCdoanotherthing
The little-used, BB4W-specific, feature I drew attention to was THEN; (i.e. the trailing semicolon) which is documented, unsurprisingly, under THEN:
