Well I was mainly talking about "if" and "while", but the idea is having=
=20
constants at the top a program, and changing them for different=20
test/purposes and having the program react appropriatly.
I just didn't want bad speed cause of testing/not testing and leaving=20
testing code in place.
example

if DEBUGMODE then--if debugnumber is 0 then if dissappears
do lots of junk
end if
--if debugnumber is 0 then forloop dissapears
for i = 1 to DEBUGNUMBER do
end for

and while too
