**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 2 (Commands): CURLYBRACKET**
===== CURLYBRACKET -- Mark the end of a block of conditional commands =====
**        usage:}**
**    or: } else {**
          Use the '}' command in conjunction with a previous '{' command to mark the end of a block
  of commands or data in a macro program, or to mark a block of data when used interactively.
  When it is used, the '}' must be the first non-blank character on the line.  Generally, the
  usage of '}' is fairly obvious; anywhere that you start something with a '{' you must
  eventually finish it with a '}'.  The only special case is the ELSE construct:
                          } else {
  which can be used between the "true" and "false" blocks of conditional
  commands following an IF statement.  For example,
                          if(a > 100) {
                                  type 'Large A:' a
                          } else {
                                  a = 100
                          }
  
  Note: The '{' and '}' characters are also used to specify an entry
  number within a file containing more than one variable (see [VARIABLES][1]).
  However, the syntax is so different between the two uses of these special
  characters that there should never be any ambiguity about their meanings.
