Dennis, You didn't mention if you're on UV or UD, but the FORMAT command in AE (in UD) has options for margin and indent. You can do FORMAT -M0 -I2 to get the format you specified.

What is your editor of choice, ie can you get it to indent 1 space? I've always been a standard FORMAT in ED fella, but the site I've just joined doesn't want that, code must start right up against the edge, & have 2 space indenting.. So hard to not instinctively FORMAT, & equally hard to find that missing 'END' when I can't simply format, since the code structure looks so foreign & squashed up.
