I was wondering if there is an API for putting stuff into the fringe
via lisp? I'm on 21.2.1 under Windows if that matters....
Thanks!

I guess I should explain a little about what I'm wanting to do. I
would like to display a mark in the fringe on certain lines, much like
the current article marker in Gnus. Only I'd like to have multiple
marks per buffer.

And again: thanks!

Does <info://elisp/Display+Margins> help?

Not really, but thanks for the tip. I want to use the fringe, not
create a new margin area. Basically, I want to do something like what
overlay-arrow-position does, but I want multiple ones. Like having
the continuation arrows (in the fringe) when truncate-lines is true.
Basically, I want to know if I can, through lisp only, change what's
in the fringe.
Thanks again for trying!

Here is what edebug does. As far as I can see only one mark can be
there at a time, but this should give you somewhere to start looking
for more info from.
(defun arrow-in-fringe ()
"Display an arrow on the current line."
(interactive)
(setq overlay-arrow-string "==>")
(setq overlay-arrow-position (make-marker))
(set-marker overlay-arrow-position
(line-beginning-position) (current-buffer)))

AFAIK, there is only a limited number of things that can be put in the
fringe. There has been talk about allowing any bitmap (pixmap?)
there, but this hasn't been implemented yet, AFAIR.
