   I assume you are using GNU-emacs or related (a good fortran-mode available).
   use 'TAB'-character (control-I) in the lines where you want the indenting.
   fortran-mode DOES NOT add tabs, but spaces.

   for example:

	   IF (i.eq.9) THEN
	   write(6,*)'good bye'
	   ENDIF

   becomes

	   IF (i.eq.9) THEN
	      write(6,*)'good bye'
	   ENDIF

   if u use 'tab' in line 'write...'.

While this works, I bind the return key to 'newline-and-indent'.  This way,
hitting the return automatically indents the next line.

Also you might want to bind it to 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent' which
indents the current line then opens a newline and indents it properly.
