I have an SMOP with which I'm having trouble. I want to do the
following:

read in one line from a file,
compare it to something,
if it's something ok, then read to the rest of the file,
   else skip 3 lines, then read to the 2nd to last line of the file.

Any ideas? I'm a novice at this, I'm open to suggestions.
