[Gambas-user] is endif optional?

[Daniel Campos]

If you use the:

IF [CHECK] THEN [COMMAND]

syntax, Gambas and all the rest of BASIC interpreters I know,
understand that there's only a command to perform after the condition,
end END IF is not needed. END IF is used only if you have to
concatenate some commands after a condition, or use the ELSE keyword.
