Dear sir's

I am trying to use the "Epoch 4.0 Alpha" as a presentation tool for
the textual display of a HyperText system --the Hyper Structure
Programming Environment (HSPE)--, one of the goals in this system is
to provide the user with a 'shell' for all work in a software project,
e.g. the documentation, LaTeX, the specification, lisp,  and the
program, C. 

It is possible to display the different types of text, in different
styles, with the help of regions 'buttons'. But if you want to edit
one of the regions, will the different nature of the text not occur in
the mode.

This means a possibility for mixed modes in one buffer, how is this
done with out using a specific key for starting the editing?.

Is there a simple way of making the button 'active' by using the
'data' field?.

Or is it possible to catch the keybord-event before any one else and
distribute the event for the the right 'mode'?.

I am stocked, please help me.
