Subj : Baja argument help

I have a login baja module I use to show users a local message base sub called new if a new message is present since the last time they logged in, and if there is nothing new, it does nothing. This works fine, and have been using it for years:
!include sbbsdefs.inc
!include file_io.inc
!include dir_attr.inc
SETSTR "LOCAL"
MSG_SET_GROUP
SETSTR "NEWS"
MSG_SET_AREA
MSG_NEW_SCAN_SUB
Now, I want to improve on this since this script won't show a guest anything or a new user anything, so I improved it. Now it works as intended for guests and new users, and takes them directly to the new message base where they can read the news, or exit themselves by hitting enter.
But the way I have it, it also takes the other users to the news message base even if there are no new messages, so I'm sure I have my logic screwed up. It's acting like it's not getting to the secont part. Below is the new file, can someone let me know where I went wrong. Thanks in advance.
!include sbbsdefs.inc
!include file_io.inc
!include dir_attr.inc
compare_ars LASTON EQUALS 0 OR REST G
if_true
# If New User or Guest, go to Local News Message Base and Read News...
SETSTR "LOCAL"
MSG_SET_GROUP
SETSTR "NEWS"
MSG_SET_AREA
MSG_READ
if_false
# All other users, go to Local message Base, check for new messages In News,
# and show New Messages and if no New Messages exist, do nothing, and exit.
SETSTR "LOCAL"
MSG_SET_GROUP
SETSTR "NEWS"
MSG_SET_AREA
MSG_NEW_SCAN_SUB
end_if
