Sorry, that was actually the intent .. had cursor on wrong group when
pressing `C-u a' and neglected to check the headers for rightness.

That works great but only C-M_f.  C-M-f plows thru a number of lines of code
and finds the correct 'fi'.

And just resting cursor on the `if'  lights up its `fi' pardner.


But C-M-b  Stops at the first '[[', 'while', 'done','read' etc that
occurs in code above.  And sadly never finds the
corresponding  'if'

Further, even C-M-f does nothing but hilight `elif' does'nt track to
next 'elif' or 'fi' 

WHOOPs I've wondered off ... and discussing on the wrong group
again...

I'll take any more commentary to 'emacs.help'

Thanks for the commands... C-M-f is proving to be a big help.
