Dear all,
Thanks, also, from this relatively new user of JDE to
Paul and other contributers.
View with exclusion of comments a good idea

I could certainly use a feature that would allow
a view of the buffer, which is being edited, which
excluded comments in particular, and/or whatever else
did not take your interest at the time.
The editor (called TSO I think(?)) on the
IBM MVS mainframe environment, did something like
this rather well. It was like being applying to
apply grep (or a reverse grep) to the current buffer
whilst allowing you to edit the buffer at the same
time.
Outline view
-------------
I would also say that an outline view would (possibly
similar to what is use in word processers) as mentioned
by another contributor, would also be useful for be.
Just possibly, this could work quite well in
conjunction with the 'comment exclusion view' idea
mentioned above.
Thanks again,
regards,
James Sinnamon
