The Beautify command on the Program menu makes program files easier to read by altering the appearance of the file. Options include altering the case of keywords and variables and additional indentation within procedures and DO CASE statements. Action diagram symbols can also be added to the .PRG file to highlight program organization by bracketing specific control statements such as:

   IF
     DO something
   ELSE
     DO something
   ENDIF

NOTE: In Visual FoxPro for Windows, this functionality is provied by the Documentation Wizard.
