Thank you for telling your story Francis! I can now see my tech
beginnings were quite advanced - I began programming on an IBM 360 model

partitions!), a console full of flashing lights, and two external hard
drives - floor units, each
lcStackbrowser has a feature that adds comments to each end xxx statement
identifying it's parent, part of the script assist module.
I think named ifs, repeats, etc would be great on the context of being able
to exit out of nested instances of those structures to whatever level you
want.

contortions, but figuring out which end is attached
