Extending Sergiy's solution, the branching becomes implicit if the
global-flag directly contains the command.
e.g. replace all -browse- commands with $cond_browse and then define
global cond_browse = "browse"
or
global cond_browse = "*" (to comment out anything else on the line)
at the start of each file or in the first file called if it is a nested
series of files.

You can replace -browse- by a call of a new command like
-conditional_browse-
Define it as an ado-file, or in the same file.
Inside you can branch depending, say on a value of a certain global
FLAG-variable defined at the beginning of your program or changed
depending
on iterations, etc.

Sergiy
