Re: Indent on "ElseIf"

Presumably, when coding the Free Form RPG you would have done your own
indenting as you like to see it so you would have already lined up your IF
with your ENDIF (if that is what you like).  The only visual that you would
be missing would be the dashes.   (True).   If the problem is matching up
IF/ENDIF etc. or perhaps you forgot an ENDIF somewhere along the way,  you
can always use the View->Match option (CTRL-M) which is quite useful for
this.

It's not the indentation per se that is a benefit -
it's the visual association between the IF, DO, etc
and the corresponding ENDxx.

Free form doesn't remove the problem of missing or out
of sequence ENDxx's.
