    I'm looking for an editor that can be used with X Windows,
    where I could remove "chunks" of code from the editing
    window without actually removing it from the original file.

    Basically, remove a "chunk" of code from the display, assign
    a name to that chunk of code, save it to a temp. file., but
    at the same time keeping the original file intact. Any other
    changes while editing the file should be saved, but the lines
    identify as a "chunk" should not be removed from the edited file.

    Can I do that with XEDIT? any Suggestion on how to do it.
    I'm just learning X Windows so please consider this before
    replying.

    Thanks in advance,

    Simon Ramirez.
