I recently brought a PICSTART PLUS KIT and I have found the books to be not very informative. I am trying to figure out how to do IF/Else commands ; if VAR1=VAR2 "NEXT COMMAND" ELSE "NEXT COMMAND" When I compile this it gives me a illegal character error '=' When I use < > Character instead the commands are not executed. any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
