This may be a bit late, but the digests needed some time ...

I used to working with the folding editor of the Occam Development
System, which used two different ways to open a fold: with and
without context.
That means that (without context) one can go 'into' the fold without
seeing anything around it, especially the indentation goes (locally)
to the left border of the screen, while the folded block of course
retains it's position in the file.
I often defined just the comment lines of the folds to get the overall
program structure and then went into each fold to make the interieurs.
Is this possible with FOLDED?

Second:
All copying and deleting worked only on lines, but since a fold also
is a 'line', you hit a key, get the line (fold), hit it again at
another position, and done - block copy. Also if you insert some
blanks in front of a folded line, then unfold, the whole block
was moved by that amount of spaces. Is that possible, too?

3) Does searching (or other functions) work on the whole file, or, by
the way, only on the unfolded parts (selectable)?
In the Occam editor it was done only in the current and all included
folds, but not outside (in the context).
