colon vs semicolon in loops

Show all headers | View raw

How does one get Maple to display some but not all of the results in a loop? The Maple output below displays everything done in a loop ending "end if;" and nothing done in a loop ending "end if:" but one of the two commands inside each loop ends with ":" and the other with ";". I know the output is what my program asked for but it's not what I had hoped for.
