Glenn,

When I type this code fragment into a modi comm window:

with this
   thisform.cRepName = juststem( substr( .printcmd, rat( ' ', .printcmd ) + 1 ) )
endwith

as I type each ) it does correctly highlight back to the correct opening (.

what are you doing to see something different?

I'm using VFP8Sp1.
