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"

Sorry, Nitro, I completely overlooked this post

It turns out you cannot use ":" after then if you want a block-sentence if. The syntax was changed on 1.6.x
":" Colon after then means you have to finish the IF in the same line like in traditional BASIC (so remove it there to allow the program to compile)
