subject: Any idea`s for `Folding` in EPM?

hello.

do some (or one or maybe none :-/) of you have any hot ideas of how to  
implement a folding feature into epm?

studying the epm tech manual gave me no real good hint of how to implement  
such in epm...

at first i thought that there is something like 'defdisplay' which could
be hooked in before every single line is displayed in order to make the
appropiate changes, but i did find nothing similar...

now i ended up with two (rather fuzzy) ideas:

1.) storing lines that are to be folded into arrays
2.) making a dll which would provide appropiate functions (not my
    favourite, because of the programing overhead for the dll: i'm a poor
    c/c++ beginner)

maybe you can help me with any better idea?

thank you in advance...

ps: i like syntax highlighting, but i think folding is much more powerful
(i did program on my amiga (rip :-) in gfa-basic which had this feature
implemented in it's editor: even though no "nested" folding was possible
the gained advantages in clearness and "handability" of source code were
overwhelming, much more than syntax highlighting...that's why i'm so keen
on it (-: bye bye
