Sounds interesting, CharlieJV.  You coders who make things like this have my admiration. It’s a hard work. Good job with BAM.

If Pete was still around, I’m sure he’d be coming up with something funny using the new keyword  ‘DoNothing’  Big Grin

Loads of potential for some DoNothing ribbing.

The intent there is a bit the same as the "Pass" statement in Python, but I much prefer "DoNothing": what, pass a parameter?   pass gas?

Mostly DoNothing to avoid If expressions that involve NOT, which often just confuses me.

REM is the BASIC DoNothing command.

IF x = 123 THEN REM

^That's a whole line of code which does absolutely nothing.  I suppose it more-or-less just acts like a stub so you can come back and fill in later whatever x is supposed to do when it equals 123, but at the moment, it really just does nothing.

IF x = 123 THEN REM ELSE .... that ain't going to work.

IF x -= 123 THEN DoNothing ELSE ... is what I need in some circumstances.  Not often, but when I do, that does it for me.
