GENERAL INFORMATION  : Correct syntax in LOGIN does not execute as expected

            PROBLEM  : Consider the following LOGIN code:

                   IF MEMBER OF "MENU_USERS" THEN BEGIN
                       MAP F:=SYS:MAIL\%USER_ID
                       INCLUDE F:LOGIN
                       #MENUGEN
                       EXIT "MENU %LOGIN_NAME"
                       END

                       If you are a member of the group "MENU_USERS" this
                       executes correctly. However, if you are not a member
                       of group "MENU_USERS", it still executes the INCLUDE
                       statement, but not any of the others within the
                       BEGIN - END block.

           SOLUTION  : Replace that LOGIN code with:

                   MAP F:=SYS:MAIL\%USER_ID
                   IF MEMBER OF "MENU_USERS" THEN INCLUDE F:LOGIN
                   IF MEMBER OF "MENU_USERS" THEN BEGIN
                       #MENUGEN
                       EXIT "MENU %LOGIN_NAME"
                       END
