[I am posting this instead of replying by email, because of some incredible
piece of software on the way.  Can you believe this: using the news reply
facility, the address generated was "To: dwt@zippy.eecs.umich.edu"; the
message got returned to me because: "david_west@iti... User unknown".  My
reply did not contain either of the names "David" or "West".  Now if this
user is unknown, how do they (does it) know that dwt == david_west?  Beats
me.]

In article <747@zippy.eecs.umich.edu> you write:
) In a recent posting, I asked for (pointers to) info on writing hierarchical 
) browsers, with particular reference to efficient screen updating. I should 
) perhaps have been a little clearer; what I am interested in is an interactive 
) syntax-directed source code viewer that lets one control the amount of detail 
) visible at various levels of nesting, so that more context is visible. 

You might find the following reference of interest:

    %A M. Mikelsons
    %T Prettyprinting in an interactive programming environment
    %B Proc. of the ACM SIGPLAN SIGOA Symp. on Text Manipulation
    %P SIGPLAN Notices 16, nr. 6, 108-116
    %D 1981

If you get further interesting info, I would appreciate receiving a copy.
