This seems to work okay:
IF pulse5 < 1500 THEN
SEROUT lcd , lcdbaud , [noparse][[/noparse]18] 'check ch5 turn off backlight if switch off
ELSEIF pulse5 > 1500 THEN
SEROUT lcd , lcdbaud ,[noparse][[/noparse]17] 'vice versa
ELSE
SEROUT lcd , lcdbaud , [noparse][[/noparse]"error!"]
ENDIF

Pbasic originally had
IF (condition) THEN (Statements or Label)
all on the same line, and you can still write code that way. (it's the only way on a Stamp1)
The interpreter Knows the IF statement is done at the end of the line.
But, when you use the expanded ELSEIF, ELSE, ENDIF construct, you need to put the-- (Statements or Label) -- part on the following line to tell the interpreter you are following the new construct.
You code needs to look like this:
IF (condition) THEN
(Statements or Label)
ELSEIF (condition) THEN
(Statements or Label)
ELSE
(Statements or Label)
Endif
If THEN is the last thing on the line, the interpreter knows the IF construct isn't over yet.
You are getting the error because the interpreter thinks you wrote code the old way and the original IF statement is finished.
It is looking for the IF statement for the new method in the code that follows.
