All leading whitespace was removed as the line was read, then keeping track of the appropriate current level of indent, re-write the leading whitespace. For printouts, we would add the appropriate IBM characters for lines to keep track of matching indent/detent kw's were and could keep track of where the routines would fall off due to incorrect detent kw usage. If you don't know what the context is as far as indent/detent kw's are, then it gets to be a problem figuring it out unless there is specified characters used to indicate indent/detent issues. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
