If you are using vi, try the % on the "extra" brace, or set showmatch
mode.
In emacs, add this to your .emacs file: (require 'paren)
If you don't have either, get them (you can get precompiled binaries
of emacs for win32 - do a web search for 'precompiled emacs win32').
It will be a big help in tracking down missing closing parens/braces.
