This command performs a conditional IF operation on two
string arguments. The possible operations are equal
(EQ), not equal (NE), and the FORTRAN index()
function (INDEX), which returns true if there is
`argument2' substring within `argument1'. If the condition
is true, the command specified in the THEN variable
is executed. Otherwise the command in the ELSE
variable is executed. Typically, these commands are
GO_TO statements.
