Greetings to everyone out there in netland:

I've stumbled across the following use of the jmp command in HPL

	jmp (j+1->j) > M-N

My question is what does this code do if the condition tests true?
Does it execute the following command, or does it branch to some computed
offset?  If the condition evaluates false, does the code just skip 1 statement?

Thanks for your help.  Please e-mail any responses to !boulder!pvi!elsa
since I don't regularly read this group.
		
		Thanks again,
		Larry "Lawrenzo"
