Someone wrote a macro (or whatever it is called) for gvim that
automatically inserts an "end" statement whenever you enter a keyword
that requires an "end".

for example:
type:

"if cond"  and press return

the cursor goes to the next line and an "end" statement appears on the
subsequent line with the proper indentation.

if cond
                  # cursor at start of this line.
end
