  There are a couple of Mac editor's that offer this capability.

  Both MPW & Qued/M+ offer tags or markers for the text.  In addition Qued/M+
offers backup files, autosaving, and collapsalbe {sp?} lines so that you
can "hide" lines of code under their procedure headers so you don't have
to look at them every time you run through a listing.  Also both Qued/M+ &
MPW offer macros for repetitive processes.  MPW has a scripting language that
can do this, and Qued/M offers a Macros Language of it's own.
  For features I still haven't seen one feature of 'vi' that can't be found
in good Macintosh editor's.  The only "feature" of vi is that it's a pain to
use and/or figure out.  And Mac editors tend to be straght forward.
