Yes, this can mitigate the indentation issue . . .

Subject: Re: [NF] Python - Thinking Differently

Just to throw in my own $0.02 is to state that programmers in VFP and 
Python and whatever other language they like by keeping their 
methods/function short and concise.

I've worked with programmers where their functions were 100's if not 
1000's of lines long.  It seems to be equally unreadable if you're 
looking at an unindent or an ENDIF or a } that is five levels 
(indentions) deep and you have to page up 10 times to guess at the 
beginning condition.  It's just a pet peeve of mine.

If it doesn't fit onto a single page of the display (+/-) then you can 
probably break it into another method.  Please give that method a 
meaningful name too!  Most abbreviations suck!
