>I was going to tell you to use beautify.app, but infuriately I had not found its parameter described in the VFP documentation. If you have a way to know necessary parameters, you could store your memo contents using STRTOFILE() into temporary file (you can use sys(2015) function to obtain random name). Then you can run beautify.app and get the result with FILETOSTR() to store it into the memo again. In our applications, we use the same technique when user edits some FoxPro code. The temporary file we open for edition with MODIFY COMMAND – then the user has syntax coloring for its code.
