 I would like to mark *multiple* blocks of code, i.e. CC, CC, page
down, C, page down, MM, MM, page down A, enter.  The way it works
now I would have had to page up and down through the program multiple
times.

 That's fine if your're dealing w/ a specific subroutine.  But
when you are poring through a large program that you are not familiar
with, bookmarks become very useful.

 In ILE, use the H spec keyword OPTION( *SrcStmt ).  In
RPG/400, the numbers should match up (unless you are using /COPY).
