Cool. Let me know when you have something in a state I could have a play with 
/ look at.  I've looked at leo itself before and found it quite ineteresting.

Yep. Several other editors use special comments as the basis for folding too, 
but none of them has leo's rigorously followed through folding / outlining / 
structural model (the literate programming influence).

On your question about breakpoints under windows, I do almost all my coding 
on idlefork under linux and freebsd, with just an occasional test run on 
windows2000 to see if something looks right, and I haven't looked into the 
debugger yet (it's been broken in idlefork since before my time) so I can't 
really help you there.  There might be someone else on this list who can 
chime in on this subject though.  Anyone? 

Regards,
Stephen.
