Re: WDSc LPEX structure-nesting bug - has this been fixed?

[Stuart Rowe <rowestu@xxxxxxxxx>]

RDP outliner thing (c-s-O) still does know about ELSE, WHEN, OTHER, ELSEIF,
or anything actually useful so does not yet point them out.

I'm not at work now but I suspect the SQL probably still throws it for a
loop as well.
