>True, but in some cases I found good use of what it does do. I need to mark a few places in a long prg and keep them for maybe one hour, so I can flip between these places quickly. And yeah, having to move them as I insert or delete lines makes them very temporary.
This is a hack but what I do in those circumstances is insert a special character string (I use ///) on lines I want to bookmark, then use Search to jump between them. My own code has become shorter and shorter methods, so bookmarks aren't needed, but sometimes I wind up doing maintenance work on PRGs / procedures that are hundreds or even thousands of lines long.
