If B Then C EndIf
If B_1 Then C_1 Else C_2 EndIf
If B_1 Then C_1 Elsif B_2 Then C_2 Elsif ... EndIf
If B_1 Then C_1 Elsif B_2 Then C_2 Elsif ... Else C_r EndIf
D If B
where the B's are boolean expressions, the C's are command
sequences, and D is a single command.

If
B_n is the first in the sequence of
B_i's to evaluate to TRUE,
then
C_n is executed. If none of the
B_i's evaluates to TRUE, nothing
is done. The construct,
Elsif B Then C can be repeated any number
of times. Note: be careful not to type
Elseif by mistake (it has an
extraneous
e).
In the last form, the single command D is performed if B evaluates to
TRUE. NOTE: the use of this form is discouraged. It will probably
disappear from future versions of CoCoA.

expression, assignable to a variable, see

If A > 0 Then Return 1
Elsif A = 0 Then Return 0
Else Return -1
