I was just looking through my brand new Microsoft Pascal manual when I ran accross the most interesting entry in the index: . . OR ELSE operator, 184 . . . Now, I'm shure I can find some use for this command! Haven't you ever had a program just not do what you want it to?? (come on C programmers.. we know you're out there...) Well, Here's the answer! for i := 1 to 10 do readln(a,b,c) OR ELSE; Of course, there is the useage: work OR ELSE; Sounds like I'm gonna like THIS pascal....
