try:

   if  length( s ) > 2 then
      if compare( s[1..3], "EOF" ) = 0 then
         ...
      else
         ...
        end if
   end if


all you're doing is putting your original code inside an if to ensure it's
only run under certein conditions


I do fall against short-circuiting of existing commands.  If you must add
this feature, I'd recommend adding new keywords for short-circuited "and"
and "or"
