When I had this question in mind, I did not think of actually just
writing some code to prove one way or another.
It appears Magic continues evaluating even though the statement will
evaluate to false.
Here's the code I tried at the front end:
""^A,
1^B,
IF{A&B&(3^C) do this;
Do that}
When I examined variable C - its value was 3 so apparently the
interpreter continues evaluating even though the evaluation will be
false.
