Hi Henry,
Back in the '90's, Mitchell Grunes had some handy code to do this for
Fortran and IDL.
See http://mgrunes.com/diagram/diagram.html
I last used it on a VMS system, so I don't know how current Mitchell's
work is.
HTTH,
Andrew

The IDLWAVE mode for Emacs can do this-- I actually use viper-mode (VI
emulation) and idlwave-mode together, which gives me the VI syntax
with the Emacs windowfancy.
IDLWAVE does this in two ways, but the most applicable is that hitting
tab at each line will automatically indent according to the
FOR,WHILE,etc. statements. This makes it relatively easy to locate
missed ENDs.
In emacs, you just do 'Alt-X idlwave-mode'. Lots of documentation
here: http://idlwave.org/

The short answer is no, unfortunately. The WB does bracket- and
parenthesis-matching, though, so this would be a good feature to add.
The tangential answer (which is not applicable here) is the WB provides
code templates which stub out control statement blocks. I have a short
demo video here:
