Hiya Jim

Here's my understanding of Drew Speedie's indentation. It is what I'm using in any case.

IF x = 2 ;
     and y = 3 ;
     and z = 4
  *Something
ENDIF

Now that I've seen yours, I think a derivative would be good ;)

if m.x = 2 ;
     and y = 3 ;
       and z = 4
  *Something
endif

It indicates a complex if and the something jumps right out because of the white space above it.

BTW, this stuff is truly subjective. There is no performance issue except we could probably run some studies to see if programmer's can read faster depending on the formatting.
