A fellow AMUCker has found a problem with tabs in script files
under 1.3. The following script (which has a tab just after
the second else statement) demonstrates the problem. Because
things are going to get messed up in transmission a UUEncoded
version of the script appears below as well.
------------------------- The script ----------------------------
Echo "execute this twice, anwsering YES one time and NO the other"
Echo "to see the bug with the If Else Endif logic"
Ask "pick yes or no"
If WARN
Echo "you picked yes"
Else ; good else comment
Echo "you picked no"
Endif
Ask "pick same as last time"
If WARN
Echo "you picked yes"
Else ; bad else comment
Echo "you picked no"
Endif
