Thanks, Philip. I may end up using folding after all. However, a much  
simpler facility seems to exist as well. I just cannot recall what :-(.

Check out Mauricio F.'s  
[eigenclass.org](http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?Usable+Ruby+folding+for+Vim) and check  
out the comments. He mentions his FoldSearch function is derived from  
vim tip 77: [tips : vim online](http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=77)

Hope that helps,
