    ahaaA! This is exactly what I had on my trusty
old-but-still- functioning NEC PC8201 with the Ultimate ROM II chip from Traveling
Software. The outliner that came on the chip together with T-Word and
T-Base was called Idea!, and for years I thought that all
outliners behaved in the same way. Nota Bene's outlining
function disillusioned me because there were too many options and
the process of collpasing seemed to take forever (in fact all it
did was to create an invisible prompt to hold the now-hidden
text); is there an equivalent in XyWrite?
