ill explain goto and if commands
if is a conditional statement. It tests a certain theory in a program or batch file

example, you have 4 roses. Your friend has 2 roses.
you can say it like this in english. Now if you want
to say that if you have more than your friend, then give him an apple.

Now that you know how to write it in english lets type it togther. You will need to know less than or equalto commands <= and >=
yourself = 5
friend = 3
if yourself <= friend
{
yourself = yourself-1
friend = friend+1
}

You should understand reading it mathimatically :)

thats above one tests that. Now once you get to both mean equal that program section exits to the next one.
You can add a condition statment like this to the end provided you initalize the command or section area.

if yourself <= friend
goto "print 'even!' " (substritute the " and 's accordingly)
