Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

After many years of trying to understand the ON ERROR SKIP(nn) command, I finally worked it out. (I think)

I was doing some tests with this command & wasn't working as I thought it should.
I re-read the following for the umpteenth time & I finally saw what I was missing...

Quote ON ERROR SKIP will ignore an error in a number of commands (specified
by the number 'nn') executed following this command.

I missed out on seeing

Quote will ignore an error in

I was thinking that it missed the specified number of commands , not the error generated by them. The commands are still executed.

The example below now makes sense

Quote ON ERROR SKIP 3
WEB NTP -10
IF MM.ERRNO THEN WEB NTP -10
IF MM.ERRNO THEN PRINT "Failure to connect to the Internet" : CPU RESTART

All statements are executed but the errors on the first 3 are ignored.

Now, I have to go though a number of my programs to-re appraise my use of this command.
