Hello All!

It occurred to me that there is no AND - OR logic available in the HB-232 Script
feature.  Since it is not likely that we can add these elements for some time to
come, the following is a nice workaround for when you need AND and OR logical
operators.  Follow with me as I set an example of each:

AND LOGIC
=========

 - Desired, but NOT possible Script statement:

     IF FREQ = 158.970 AND CHAN = 43 THEN
             :
             :
             (do something; doesn't matter what for this example)
             :
             :
     ENDIF

 - Ok, it would be nice to do the above, but the below does the same thing!

     IF FREQ = 158.970 THEN
        IF CHAN = 43 THEN
                :
                :
                (do something; doesn't matter what for this example)
                :
                :
        ENDIF
     ENDIF

Voila!  Very useful AND logic!  Now then...............


OR LOGIC
========

 - Desired, but not possible Script statement:

     IF FREQ = 158.970 OR CHAN = 43 THEN
             :
             (do something; doesn't matter what for this example)
             :
     ENDIF


Ok, it would be nice to do the above, but the below does the same thing:


     IF FREQ = 158.970 THEN
        GOTO labelname
     ENDIF
     IF CHAN = 43 THEN
     labelname :
               :
               (do something; doesn't matter what for this example)
               :
     ENDIF


And there you have it:  AND and OR logic for your scripts.
