I have the following test script:

!JOB GREG,MGR.TFTP,PUB;HIPRI
!SETVAR GREG "TRUE"
!FTP
OPEN 192.168.1.111
USER MGR.TFTP

PASS
!IF GREG = "FALSE" THEN
GET JOBSMPLE
!ENDIF
QUIT
!EOJ

And here is the $STDLIST for that script... as you can see, it checks the condition and says that it is going to ignore till it finds the matching endif, but is still processing the lines inbetween.  Am I missing something?  Or FTP does not care about the 'IF'?

:JOB GREG,MGR.TFTP,PUB.
