My code covers that case > as well as two separate buffers. Right, but I think its a good idea to keep them apart. And then have different modes... Still, one can do that as well... with a variable instead of point to keep track of it the overlay. Maybe editing screws it up. Its just better to have different buffers for different purposes, then people can also rearrange stuff visually more easily, and many other advantages... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
