Move to the Data box and give it a good look:

The number 129 you see in Parameter 2 actually translates to 4097:1 over in your statement #55. Weird, huh? In order to make it read 4097:2, we have to increase the number 129 by 1. For instance:

if we type in 129 we get 4097:1
if we type in 130 we get 4097:2
if we type in 131 we get 4097:3, etc.

Everyone get that? Good.

Replace number 129 in Parameter 2 with the number "130".

And now for the tricky part — the returns. This is one of the things I do not like about IFF. Doing what we are about to do is 300% easier using SS (Script Station). With IFF you have to think hard and watch what you're doing. I'm all for thinking as little as possible.

OK. We have to stick this statement 55 between statement 30 and statement 31. In order to do that, we have to do it this way:

Go back up to statement #30 which is currently returning True/Error, and temporarily change the return to 55/Error.

We're forcing 30 to go to the bottom and pick up statement 55.
