Much clearer - thanks everyone - I think the documentation should be a
little clearer with this?
So I had a go - which proved pretty difficult - I don't envy anyone trying
to do technical documentation. Here is the best I can do for now. I added a

Hi David,
I use the switch statement a lot - but only for basic "case" tests and
have not been able to get:
"If the caseValue is equal to the switchExpression, or the
caseCondition evaluates to true"
Don't forget that switch logic falls through from case to ca
Hi David,
If you specify a variable just after the switch statement, each case
value refers to this variable.
So, in your case, try:
switch -- note there is nothing more here ;-)
case mainChoice = "Go to script object"
break

Thanks this worked. I thought you had to use a switch statement because an
if statement could only have one "else". Now I realize a switch/case
statement is only used because it is faster for comparing one item against
other items to match exactly. This is an example of how an old
If you are searching for your words in a larger string, then this won't
work with a case statement. Case statements are better (that is,
slightly faster - maybe) than if-then-else chains when you are comparing
a single variable with multiple constants. If you need to perform
processing (like a
