THINK Pascal (LSP) is descended from Mac Pascal, the first (2nd?) Mac language.
Mac Pascal originated the pretty-printing; LSP inherited it, apparently to
punish us.  LSC is not actually related to LSP; it predates Symantec's
acquisition of the latter (question: anybody know how that came about?).  There
was never any pretty-printing in LSC; it wasn't taken out.

Hahahahahaha...
Why would you want to, anyway? It's kind of nice, but it gets obnoxious.
Especially when you've got a godawful long list of things that you've told it
you want printed horizontally (variables and unit names, for example--either all
on one line or each on its own).
