#109045 - Folding editor
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I currently use a DOS editor that has two great features:

1. Global searching of multiple files (defined in a project directory).
2. Folding of text. This uses a special comment line start sequence: ';**-' hides all lines down to the next ';**x', and ';**+' unhides (unfolds) the lines. This means you can give a module a title (description) and fold the code away:
;**+ This module is displayed
line 1
line 2
line 3
;**- This module is folded
;**- This one folded also
;**+ This one is not folded
line 8
line 9
etc...
ALT-F on the comment line toggles folding.
This really makes the listing easy to read.

The editor's down sides are manifold, and I'd love to convert to PSPad which I sampled thanks to Jan's advice. PSPad does 1., does anyone know if it can do the folding bit?
