No current XEmacs recognizes cookies in the second line.  I tried it,
it broke, I backed it out, had a bad attack of day job, and forgot to
fix the patch.  :-(

This may[1] work in 21.4.10.  The code is moderately complicated because
we have to deal with all the different linebreaking conventions in the
raw buffer.  I wish I could work on an editor that only needs to deal
with Lisp, Python, and XML....

You will need to use Mule-UCS (the package that provides un-define) to
get Unicode (any flavor of UTF) support in XEmacs 21.4.  You probably
don't want latin-unity if you're playing with cookies, because it
currently incorrectly complains about cookies that are OK.  (This is
also EOL breakage.  :-=FE)

backed out.

 My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.  I don't
have much nostalgia for Perl, so its faults I remember.  Scott Gilbert c.l.=
