Suprtool does not have an ELSE statement. It may appear to have one,
because anything you enter that is not a Suprtool command will be passed
to MPE, and MPE has an ELSE statement.

Think of Suprtool's IF command like a CRITERIA command, or a SELECTION
command, and you won't get lulled down the IF...THEN...ELSE path.

You will need to do as suggested by Alan Wyman: use multiple passes, one
for each of your selection criteria.
