You write your annotations right where the point is. The annotation is then displayed just right where it is. In the other hand, bookmark annotations are shown in another buffer. I feel less comfortable to use them for the exact reason. Maybe, in a near future, both could be merged since, in the end, the goal are pretty the same: have point in a buffer/file/whatever be bookmarked and/or be annotated. I hope I was clear in my explanations. Thank you, Xavier, yep clear and just like Richard was saying, make it sound well worth trying. I have a system laden with a `WORKSHEET' in the directory of each project. As stream-of-consciousness as the worksheets are, and hence profuse with elipses, I have never been able to afford myself the use of brackets. Now it seems I may. And sorry about the `agression' earlier, it was an infantile wish to do away with some frustrating communication.
