I have already suggested privately to a couple of people that they
investigate the editor that I use with Clipper. It is called MultiEdit and a
free evaluation version is available at http://www.amcyber.com/ It
dynamically checks brace matching and finishes common command structures
such as if/else/endif, do case/case/endcase etc for Clipper. Menu selection
of other language structures. Can compile within app and return to offending
line, etc. DOS and Windows versions available.

Usual disclaimer about not being in their pocket ... just a very satisfied user.
