Am I missing something in my 65 reading

It seems to me that the manual does not mention that program flow skips two steps (not one) if the result of a conditional is false.

Am I right or does the manual actually mention the Do If True behavior of HP-65 conditional, looping, and flag tests?

Matt, for the 65, the conditional test behavior is described on the top of p. 63.

I think the "Do if True" phrase was coined in the HP-67 manual (see p. 187 in '67 manual). The HP-25 actually introduced that style of branching a year earlier, but the phrase was not used in the HP-25 manual.
