Imperative statements

An imperative statement (such as ADD, MOVE, INVOKE, or CLOSE) indicates an unconditional action to be taken.

You can end an imperative statement with an implicit or explicit scope terminator.

A conditional statement that ends with an explicit scope terminator becomes an imperative statement called a delimited scope statement. Only imperative statements (or delimited scope statements) can be nested.
