| no use for it really, just to keep your code more readable/orginized Example crappy: If hello=1 then color 123,132,123 drawimage image,x,y hello=2 this is more readable: If hello=1 then : color 123,132,123 : drawimage image,x,y : hello=2 |

|  this is more readable:It isn't more readable than this: If hello=1 then : color 123,132,123 : drawimage image,x,y : hello=2 If hello=1 color 123,132,123 drawimage image,x,y hello=2 EndIf |

| A colon is simply used to allow multiple commands to be placed on a single line.  They do not execute any differently - ie they still execute one after the other. I cannot tell you whether it is good or bad practice to use them. |
