Oh...I always called those "flow control keywords". I've never heard 
them called "control aids"...
And I agree about goto, I have never used it. In fact, I barely ever use 
"break" outside of a switch statement...I think the first time was just 
yesterday, in the #set patch...and even there I considered using a while 
loop instead.
I don't recognize some of those keywords(elseif, endif, call, teehee), 
are they from a BASIC variant?
Hmm, the POV-Script list would be:
#while, #if, #else, #switch, #case, #range, #macro, #end, #break...did I 
miss any?
Oh, #include, I guess...and MegaPOV functions.
