  19. AAAaaarrrggg! This is an accident waiting to happen. Here is Simon's
  20. code after its next update:
  21.  
  22.        if(something_happened)
  23.            do_something_else();
  24.            do_yet_another_thing();
  25.  
  26. Lotsa luck.
  27.  
  28. Try this:
  29.        if(something_happened) do_something_else();
  30.  
  31. or this:
  32.        if(something_happened)
  33.        {   do_something_else(); }
  34.  
  35. or even this:
  36.        if(something_happened) { do_something_else(); }
  37.  
  38. Some of the airier suggestions in this thread remind me of the
  39. style in Oh! Pascal:
  40.  
  41.        if(something_happened)
  42.           then
  43.               begin
  44.                   do_something_else();
  45.               end
