MAPINFO/Intermission definition
An Intermission definition begins with the keyword "intermission" followed by a name.
An intermission is composed of different sub-blocks, which each define a "step". When a step is finished, the intermission goes to the next step, until the end is reached. The Link properties allows to go to a different intermission instead. The GotoTitle step effectively ends the intermission.
