"hmm actually thats more lines."

Exactly why I used it. I use case statements like this a lot instead of IF, because it is cleaner to read than this:

Open in online IDE

If A$ = N
   Print "You guessed correctly!"
Else
   Print "You guessed wrong.  Stupid!  You're so stupid!"
Endif

And I can do Select True for those nasty multiple nested IF else blocks:

Select True
   Case A > B Blah()
   Case B > C Blah()
   Case C > D Blah()
   Default Blah()
End Select

Rather than:

If A > B
   Blah()
Else
   If B > C
      Blah()
   Else
       If C > D
          Blah()
       Else
          Blah()
       Endif
   EndIf
EndIf
