 ...I like some structure in my source code. When debugging it's a lot
 more surveyable looking at those logical pairs (DO..ENDDO,
 FOR...NEXT, IF...ENDIF) than guessing where that particular
 END; refers to.

 ...It's one of my lesser problems, I admint. But I like to see as
 much of my code as possible.

 ...I came from (MSX)Basic to dBase and Clipper. Never felt the need

 RT> The help-files aren't giving me exactly what I need.
 SH> Surely they *DO* give that?
