[BusyBox] how to do "[ $? -eq 1 ] && echo equal"

[Matthias Fuchs]

Hi Michael,

I tested that before. I think busybox has so if-then support so far.
This is my test output

BusyBox v0.51pre (2001.04.11-11:38+0000) Built-in shell (lash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/ # if [ 1 -eq 1]; then echo "equal" fi
[: missing ]
> if
sh: ÈþÈ: No such file or directory

I think test or "[" can only be used to set $?. The strange thing I
noticed is the result if I do nothing but typing "if" at the prompt !
