Script Indenting?

[Peter M. Brigham]

A while back, Mark Wieder posted a snippet of code that I use in my library stack that does this very thing, calling some obscure IDE handlers:

      -- colorize script
      -- thanks to Mark Wieder, of the useRev listserv
      -- how he figured this out, I don't know
      put the number of lines of field "script" into tNum
      -- the following 2 lines are only necessary if no script has been opened yet in this
      --   session of LC
      -- and they will throw an error for later versions of LC
      try
         send "sePrefInit" to stack "revNewScriptEditor"
         send "revSEColorize thisScript,default" to stack "revNewScriptEditor"
      end try
      _internal script colorize line 1 to tNum of field "script"

If this doesn't point you in the right direction, maybe Mark knows more.
