     Comparisons


     SBasic supports a wide range of comparisons, for use with control
     structures such as IF-ELSE-ENDIF and DO-LOOP.  All comparisons test
     two 16-bit values and return TRUE if the values meet the comparison
     test.

     = (equal-to) yields TRUE if the two 16-bit values are equal.

     < (less-than) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is less than the
     second 16-bit value.  This is a signed comparison; $8000 is less than
     0.

     > (greater-than) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is greater than
     the second 16-bit value.  This is a signed comparison; 0 is greater
     than $8000.

     (not-equal-to) yields TRUE if the two 16-bit values are not equal.

     >< (not-equal-to) yields TRUE if the two 16-bit values are not equal.

     <= (less-than-or-equal-to) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is
     less than or equal to the second 16-bit value.  This is a signed
     comparison.

     >= (greater-than-or-equal-to) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is
     greater than or equal to the second 16-bit value.  This is a signed
     comparison.

     <* (less-than unsigned) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is less
     than the second 16-bit value.  This is an unsigned comparison; 0 is
     less than $8000 unsigned.

     >* (greater-than unsigned) yields TRUE if the first 16-bit value is
     greater than the second 16-bit value.  This is an unsigned comparison;
     $8000 is greater than 0 unsigned.

     SBasic does not allow you to store the result of a comparison in a
     variable.  SBasic also does not allow multiple comparisons in a single
     operation.  Control structures such as IF-ELSE-ENDIF can use only one
     comparison in the IF-clause.
