In Lua, you end an "if" with just "end".

You may be used to VBscript where you have endif, or you may have seen some of the examples where I put "end -- if". The "--" is a comment, designed to let you know what you are ending. For example:


if (%1 + %2 + %3 + %4 + %5 + %6) < 102 then
  Send "Y"
else
  Send "N"
end  -- if
