Hi Mike!
I agree with you, it should be possible to add a new transaction in an
If-then-else object where-ever you want, and not only on the bottom.
Stan's suggestions is possible to use, even with big files:
You can save your IF-Then-Else object as an object.
( use "save object" in File menu)
Use an editor to change it, and merge it into your big HP-VEE
program again.
This works fine.

Thanks Stan, but...
...the .VEE file I'm working on now will probably exceed 1MB by
the end of this year. You're asking me to stop, save what I'm
doing, load the source into Notepad (or whatever), search for
the RIGHT if/then/else statement, finally do my cut and paste,
re-save it, re-load it into VEE, and get myself nested back into
the same USER function routine where I started? I appreciate
you offered a valid work around, but geesh, it sure seems like
a LONG way around.
Hey, all I'm asking for are equal rights for IF/THEN/ELSE
statements. Why not? All the Interface I/O boxes, TO and FROM
boxes, the mighty SEQUENCER boxes, etc., ect. *ALL* have
Add Trans..., Insert Trans..., Cut Trans..., Copy Trans...,
Paste Trans..., and Print Trans... on THEIR pop-up menus,
so why shoudln't the lowly IF/THEN/ELSE's have the same
consideration?
