bug on "if", "end if", etc.?

[nitrofurano]

when trying to compile this code on 1.8.8:

Code:

dim i as ubyte
i=3
if i>2 then:
  print "3>2"
  end if
do:loop

i get this error message when compiling

Code:

endifbug.bas:5: Syntax Error. Unexpected token 'IF' <IF>

on other few tests i tried, the same happened on "end if"
