Condtional parameters in handler calls

[Dick Kriesel]

Hi, Pete.  You can wrap your "if" in a function, so any caller can have just one line.

myCommand parm1,iff(<condition>,<parm2a>,<parm2b>),parm3

function iff pBoolean,pTrueValue,pFalseValue
   if pBoolean then
      return pTrueValue
   else
      return pFalseValue
   end if
end iff
