Function:  integer strcmp( s1:string, s2:string) ;
  s1
         first string
  s2
         second string
 returns
  -1
         if s1 < s2
  0

This allows you to compare strings with case sensitivity in place.  If
you don't care about the case of the string use the normal '==' '>',
'<', '<=', '>=', symbols.
example:

---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---~---
if (strcmp("I Care about Capitals",s2)==0))
        {
        sendtext ("You care I can see.&n",self);
        quit;
        }
