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/
