    This can be achieved by the following steps:
    - In the sequence numbers column of the editor, input "xx" to the first and last line of the block of code that you want to hide
    - Press ENTER
    - To unhide or toggle hiding of the block of code, click the plus sign against the sequence numbers column

    Since the solution exists in a previously released version of the product, status has been changed to Delivered.

    I thinks this functionality can be achieved with this RFE http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=25182

    I think this function is currently at least partially available. Doesn't using the 'XX' (exclude block) command in the sequence numbers accomplish the goal of this?
