Aside from being horribly lazy, not to mention stupid... I'm also
apparently blind.... I asked about `if else conditionals'... and using
a string I would never have thought of to search for that topic I
repeated your search..finding in a blazing .58 second... exactly 0
references to that topic (at least in the first two pages).
I'll admit I gave up after the second page... Oh, wait I take it
back, there is mention of your posts on this thread. But then, those
don't mention anything about the topic either.

I think your confusing lookup time with the time it will really take
to find a recognizable `if else' example with that search... or many
others, I'd already tried myself.
That time (for me) would be vastly larger than posting here.
I wasn't thinking, tutorial either, since, again I've tortured myself
with a few in the past. And a tutorial by its nature will take in a
lot more than what I was after. I wanted examples... and that is what I
posted about.
In fact I see now that looking for something similar to `if else' in
perl or shell scripting is really a mistake. It looks quite different
in elisp (at least syntactically). . I'm not sure I ever would have
recognized it ... had I found examples.
What I saw was mostly about emacs commands. Something I actually know
a fair bit about after over a decade using emacs.. Maybe not by
standards of this list, but by a wider standard I do.
Thanks for your input. Pascal, I seem to have reached beyond your
patience level.. this time. But you have provided many helpful posts
to me direct and indirect over the yrs and I thank you for that.
And to the other posters here... also thanks for your patience and
help. Xah Lee's stuff is helpful
Thanks to Xah too.
Richard R seems to be one person who saw what I tried to phrase in the
OP. That is, examples... not getting someone to write the thing for
me. Thanks Richard
