As I recall, Apex has a "switches" file that tells it what to do about a
lot of things. Last time I used it, we had to modify switches to link in
some bindings we used. Some of the switches control reformatting; I
think there's one that turns reformatting on or off completely. So,
perhaps you could RTFM or contact your Rational rep and be able to get
Apex to be less intrusive. Good luck.
