Re: [mv] more 'if' help help help elp....
****** message to minivend-users from Ramsey French <rammjet@mac.com> ******
Another option is to put all of the "something's" in a lookup table keyed on
1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then just pull the correct "something" based on the value.
Think of it as sort of an array.
Array Element
Element Value
1 Something 1
2 Something 2
3 Something 3
..etc...
If this is a decision process used numerous times, put the table in memory.
