Well, check with a real shell - the syntax is the same:

No, there is a separator missing. Either


	if fatls <filename>
	then run erase 0x00000000 0x0003ffff
	else
	run bootm
	fi

or

	if fatls <filename> ; then run erase 0x00000000 0x0003ffff
	else
	run bootm
	fi

should work.

One word of a warning, though: "run bootm" means you have  defined  a
vaiable  "bootm"  which  contains  some commands; but there is also a
U-Boot command "bootm" - there is  no  problem  with  that,  it  will
actually  work  fine,  but  for  matters  of style I recommend to use
different names, though.


Best regards,
