It's similar to one I wrote once, in awk, I think.  The only thing I
did differently was to completely banish "Then" on lines with no if; my
code looked like:

21          CLS("17","1")
22          END
23 get_trk  input popup(17,"-1") tracknum "Enter Tracking #\nor Press \kZ-to
             continue\n\kY- \b4 Cancel \a-\nEnter Option -> "
24          IF @sk = "BRKY" THEN END
25          IF tracknum ne "" and tracking_num = "" THEN tracking_num = tracknum;write
26          RETURN

which, of course, looks even less like traditional filePro code, but I,
like some others, consider that a feature.  I called the script jcabe,
which, based on what I've seen some other people do, seems to be
traditional.
