Judging by the response received ("What's a folding editor"), I guess I should explain: A folding editor allows you to "fold" several lines of text into a single line (usually displayed as the first folded line). Many outline processors (if not all) use a similar approach. The difference between an outline processor and a folding editor is that the folding editor imposes no knowledge of structure upon the folded text. I believe that one of the original folding editors was at cmu, but I could be wrong. I hope this clarifies my request.

Using GNU emacs, give the command "M-x picture-mode". That will do what you ask. -- David S. Hayes, The Merlin of Avalon PhoneNet: (202) 694-6900 UUCP: *!uunet!cos!hqda-ai!merlin ARPA: ai01@hios-pent.arpa

You might want to look at outline-mode in Gnu Emacs. Folded lines are marked by ^M (CR) where ordinary lines are marked with ^J (NL). Setting the elisp variable selective-display to t turns this feature on. The outline mode which uses this supports an outline-regexp variable that allows you to specify the format of header vs. body lines. This allows you to customize the outlines for the particular structure you are using. @alex --- arpanet: dupuy@columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!columbia!dupuy
