now THIS is extremely odd

it appears that if isn't being properly tested.
[commandLine string] contains @"-help"

- (IBAction)sendCommandLine:(id)sender
{
 [command setString: [commandLine string]];
 long returnval = 1;
 long i = 0;
 long count = [thePlugins count];
 
 // ensure all plugins get sent the command line
 NSLog(@"%@, %@, %ld, %ld",command, [thePlugins objectAtIndex: i],
[thePlugins count], returnval);
 for(i = 0; i < count; i++)
   {
   if(![[thePlugins objectAtIndex: i] processCommand: &command])
     {
     returnval = 0;
     }
   NSLog(@"%@, %@, %ld, %ld",command, [thePlugins objectAtIndex: i],
[thePlugins count], returnval);
   }

 NSLog(@"%@, %ld",command, returnval);
 if (returnval == 1);
 {
   NSLog(@"found returnval");
   [command insertString: @"--> " atIndex: 0];
   [command appendString: @"\r\n"];
   [gameWindow setString: [[gameWindow string] stringByAppendingString:
command]];
 }
 NSLog(@"%@, %ld",command, returnval);
 [commandLine setString: @""];
 [gameWindow scrollRangeToVisible: NSMakeRange([[gameWindow string]
length] - 1, 1)];
}

i've tried at first with BOOL value and used YES/NO when the logs told
me it's not being processed properly.  am i too tired to notice
something painfully obvious or what?
