Syntax Error in Script Editor

Ok, it's right here.

set answer to the button returned of (display dialog ¬
"Welcome to the AppleScript Humor Game. Click on the " & ¬
"Tell Me Some Jokes button to " & ¬
"have a few laughs or click on the No Thanks button to quit." ¬
buttons {"Tell Me Some Jokes", "No Thanks"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Humor Game" with icon note)

if answer = "Tell Me Some Jokes" then

display dialog "My new application said it requires Windows XP " & ¬
"or better...So I installed Mac OSX." ¬
buttons {"OK"} with title "AppleScript Humor Game" with icon notes

display dialog "The great thing about computers is that they " & ¬

end if


The caps locked APPLESCRIPT is the one that's having the problem. It's in the section that begins "Display dialog "To err..."

Is this enough information for help?

Having another small problem. Two problems to be exact. Here is the code I have so far.


set answer to the button returned of (display dialog ¬
¬
"Welcome to the haunted house. Enter at your own risk. You have two options: Choose to Continue, or Run away." buttons {"Continue", "Run Away"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note)

if answer = "Continue" then

display dialog ¬
"You step into the foyer of the house and see two hallways on either side of you. Go left, or go right?" buttons {"Left", "Right"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note

if answer = "Right" then

display dialog ¬
"You step on a trap door and fall into a pit. You lose the game." buttons {"Exit"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note

else

display dialog ¬
"You walk down the hallway cautiously until you encounter a door." buttons {"Open Door"}
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note

end if

else

display dialog ¬
"You run out of the haunted house, starting your car and driving away." buttons {"Exit"} ¬
with title "AppleScript confusion" with icon note


First problem: the response doesn't seem to be working at all. I've clicked both buttons but only get the response under

else

I can't seem to get the response that's under

if answer = "Right" then

even if I am clicking the button that says "Right"


Second problem:

"with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note" in the paragraph under "else." Whenever I try to compile, the word "title" is highlighted and I get the error message "expected "timeout" or "transaction" but found identifier."

An answer to one or both questions would be greatly appreciated!!

**** you guys are good! I added in the ¬ at the end of "Open Door" and that solved the second problem I was having, but the first problem still remained; no matter which option I chose, the "else" dialog came up. What do you mean by putting a final end if? I thought I already had both that I needed?

Everything is all set now. Thank you so much!!

Brilliant! I'm all set now. I really appreciate your help, Niel!
