Todd's FOLDED is a general text editor that handles folds based on
indent level. He does have a logical fold command for C braces {, }.
A folded editor does not have to be language specific to do folds.
I'm sure with an afternoon Todds's editor could be modified to
recognise PASCAL's begin and end statements in order to create a new
command for logical PASCAL folds.
