i just switched over to epoch a few days ago after using emacs
version 18.58 for several years.  i really like the extended x-
window support, and now i want to take advantage of one aspect
of the new capabilities.  i would like to be able to, from
within a lisp function, do the following steps:

   1. goto a specific line in the buffer
   2. hilite the text between columns <start> and <end>
   3. goto another line in the buffer
   4. hilite some text in this line, without unhiliting the
      previously hilted text in step #2.


i need help with steps #2 and #4.

thanks in advance (email replies please)
