Doing it by hand? I have nothing to do with Basil, but I will mention that Emacs knows how to reformat paragraphs of comments (in Ada code) out of the box. In fact, this is one reason why I still tend to use Emacs... I'm too lazy to write the necessary macros, etc, to make this work in other editors. I don't understand why this feature isn't standard in all modern IDEs. Peter
