Either I'm confused too, or COND says "do NOT execute if 4 is less than the
return code"; that is - COND=(4,LT).
Unless you meant something else...

It's not only "not" logic, but is also what I would call "inverse conditional".
Ideally there would be an option to say "execute if the return code is equal to
zero" or "execute if the return code is less than 5".
Even some "not" logic would be OK (IMO) if we could say "execute if the return
code is NOT greater than 4". In fact, I would rather prefer this.
But what COND says is "execute if 4 is less than the return code". Or
something like that! To me it's "doubly confusing". So confusing that I
can't even figure out the rest of what I was going to say about it! :-)
