Some of the code I inherit uses embedded CR/LF in literal strings (via line continuations). Older versions of beautify do not honor that string continuation properly, and subsequently indent everything to where it "thinks" it should be, rather than where it logically should be. This causes issues.

* Original code sample left-justified:
IF .T.
IF .T.
lcTest = "this is a value ;
that continues around TO here"  && Note the quotes start and end on two separate lines
? lcTest
ENDIF
ENDIF

* In VFP9, it correctly indents it, leaving the left-justified string continuation:
IF .T.
    IF .T.
        lcTest = "this is a value ;
that continues around TO here"
        ? lcTest
    ENDIF
ENDIF

* In FPW 2.6, it does not, and indents the continuation line:
IF .T.
    IF .T.
        lcTest = "this is a value ;
            that continues around TO here"
        ? lcTest
    ENDIF
ENDIF
* Several unwanted tabs have just been introduced into the literal string via FPW 2.6's Beautify
* Turning off indented continuation lines makes it even worse.

I'll grant that this is another coding style which should have a fine associated with it... but that's another thread. :-)
