Re: Show block nesting in CLLE source

Others have mentioned using Cttl-Shift-O - I tried it, and it worked if 
my cursor was on a DO or ENDDO - I don't know when this was added to CL 
code, but it's nice. It doesn't work quite so nicely, IMO, as the RPG 
way does, but it is there, at least at 9.5 and forward.

Glad the LL trick worked - it doesn't always completely, but that might 
be fixed better in 9.6, according to Barbara.

As for continuing in SEU style, I don't know - maybe the fix in 9.6 for 
formatting after a comment takes care of that. Or maybe it's because 
ENDPGM is like the end of the topmost layer.

Cheers
