ELSE
FUNCTION: Else function for use with IF conditional statement
DESCRIPTION:
The ELSE command is an optional part of an IF conditional statement. The ELSE command
must occur after an IF command and it has no arguments. It allows for the execution of a
command only when the argument of the IF command evaluates False. If the argument
of the IF command evaluates false, the controller will skip commands until the ELSE
command. If the argument for the IF command evaluates true, the controller will execute
the commands between the IF and ELSE command.
