Only 'cos I'd always used the single line construction in my Z80
source files from 1990 or so onwards. The IF FALSE THEN construction
would be better.

Genereates an error on ARM BASIC: No such mnemonic.

However, it *does* cope with ARM BASIC patched with a 6502 assembler, as
that's the case the assembly files are looking for. If I'm running on 6502
BASIC, keep going, else if I'm running on ARM BASIC and not Basic6502, pass
on to Basic6502.
