1. Why doesn't elseif work?

G'day

The if statement says you can use elseif and gives the following example:

         if char = 'a' then
             x = 1
         elsif char = 'b' or char = 'B' then
             x = 2
         elsif char = 'c' then
             x = 3
         else
             x = -1
         end if

However when I use elseif it says "elseif" hasn't been declared.
"if" doesn't say it needs any includes, so what gives?

Just a simple spelling mistake. The word to use is "elsif" and not 
"elseif".

Lots & lots & lots &....well, at least *me*!!  :)

It was hard to break myself of the habit of spelling it "right" (elseif) in
order to be right (elsif).
