      <itunes:summary>I tried out a few different versions. The problem you report seems to have been fixed in Maple 9 (and beyond).

In Maple 7, try replacing the if statement with the `if` operator

`if`(FAIL, 3, 5)

This seems to work okay, even in Maple 7.

      <itunes:summary>I tried using the `if` operator before only to have it revert the code into the standard format. However, I didn't realize that I was using the wrong character, ', when I should have used `. Using the ` made it work for me. Thanks for your input!
