[Del Merritt asked about list folding and unfolding]

As I recall, someone suggested that list folding and unfolding
would be useful in the discussion prior to the present
implementation of multi-bookmarks in Lynx, or prior to its
integration.

List folding and unfolding would IMHO be an extremely attractive
addition.  Anyone who has used Mac OS 7 or outline mode in MS
Word should appreciate this.

But it was never supported with code, so far as I know.
This was just a user dream.

Anyone interested in this kind of development should try to get
ahold of a current CSS proposal and review it for how well such
local inline expansion and compaction would be supported.
Inline context-sensitive help is likewise what one wants IMHO in
speech, trasitioning to an annotated version of the current
content as opposed to a wholsale leap into a static lecture page.
