Before I spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel:

Does anybody have a procedure to pair up parenthesis, brackets, and
braces.  I would like to put the cursor on one of ()[]{} and let the
program figure out which direction it has to search and if found, then
marks/selects all the text between them, including the ()[]{}.

Is there a TPU procedure for this?   TPU v2.6 on VMS v5.5.

I wrote a procedure like this for VDE and would like the same
convenience.

   main.frame (man'fram'), n. the largest peripheral you can attach to a PC.
   Of course these are my opinions, you'll have to go out and buy your own!
