I find that I often want to isolate a block of lines, in order to be able to focus only on that block, without the distraction of surrounding text. Also, I sometimes find it useful to view two non-contiguous sections at the same time, and to do that I would need to hide the intervening text.
UltraEdit has a Hide Lines feature, though the implementation is very clumsy (e.g. to hide lines 11 to 20 you need to select lines 10 to 21). Ideally, hidden text would be replaced on the display by a dummy line that says something like "* * * nnn lines not shown * * *", and one would be able to expand the hidden section by some action on this dummy line. Thanks for listening. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,41799,41799> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
