I'm not sure if you are intentionally using all caps to differentiate
between 'or' and 'OR' as two different keywords or not.  If so then having
two different types of 'or's could get confusing.  If not, then you already
can do that, only this is what it means:

if something = 1 or TRUE or TRUE or TRUE...
which will always evaluate to TRUE (non-zero = TRUE)

but to get your desired effect, you could do:

if find( something, {1,2,3,4,5,6,...} ) then...
