That problem:

	if(falsecond)then
		stuff
		if(cond)then
			otherstuff
		endif
		morestuff
	endif

is caused by C-shell braindamage.  Inside a false if, "if(thing)then"
is not recognized as a multi-line if.

Solution: either use "if (cond) then" with spaces around the ()s, or,
use the Bourne shell.
