I've just found out that GNU Emacs (18.47.3) has features very similar to
ALL in Xedit.  (I don't play with GNU Emacs much; I mostly use Jove).

First there's M-x occur.  This pops up another buffer showing all the
occurrences of a given regexp.  And once you have that buffer, you can type
C-c C-c to go to a specific occurrence of that regexp.

Then there's selective-display.  (setq selective-display t) tells Emacs that
anything after a ^M on a line should not be displayed.  Emacs's outline-mode
uses selective-display.  It wouldn't be too hard to write an ALL work-alike.
