Example:
If ZButton(10, 50, 110, 80, "Grid On", 1);
[
{ If module is not already launched, launch it },
IfElse(! Valid(ModPtr),
Execute( { Do a series of tasks }
modPtr = ShowGrid(){Launched because of script},
ySpace = ySpace,
gridOn = 1
),
{ If module already launched, stop it }
{ else } Execute( { Do a different series of tasks },
Slay(modPtr, 0),
gridOn = 0
));
]
When this particular button is pressed, modPtr's validity is checked and if it is not valid, module ShowGrid is launched and some variables set, otherwise, ShowGrid is slain via modPtr and variable gridOn is set to 0. Notice how the use of the Execute function allows a whole series of tasks to be performed with only one condition check.
