Thank you CharlieJV, that's a very interesting website.
James D Jarvis - Not sure how other programmers interpret IF A but to me it doesn't sound/feel like a conditional statement like IF A = B does. It feels more like a question of existence. The only answer to IF A is -1 or 0. Similarly Print doesn't sound/feel like a condition but a command, like GOTO feels like a command. I do get Petr's point that it appears a lazy way of avoiding THEN but IF A Print "...." to me, is more a natural Question/Command than a Condition/Condition situation.
