>WOW as if it was something as easy as that,i had been looking for  awhile on what i was doing wrong. as it seems i just don't know my way around if statements at all, thank a bunch for this. makes everything else i have been code work

	Actually, it is /not/ the if you misunderstood -- but the precedence of
Boolean algebra (the conditional can be lifted out of the if and put on a
separate line):

cond = something == x or y or z

if cond:

	The flaw would be in the first statement, not the IF.

	Python does support shortcut form of:

cond = value <= x <= other 

(note: you can use other comparisons, but know what you are doing)

	That expands to the equivalent of

cond = value <= x and x <= other
