Kevin,


No expert here, but I think you you need to change = to eq because it is not

comparing expressions, but strings.


If (theme eg "Stop Go")

Begin Tell Target ("/theme")

Go to and Stop (5)

End Tell Target

Else If (theme eg "Create!")

Begin Tell Target ("/theme")


Go to and Stop (2)

End Tell Target

End If


See if that helps you out?  Anyone correct me if I am mistaken.
