Too bad I was not sufficiently patient to wait for Mathias's response to my query. (I had really thought that this was an easy one, and that I would quickly be pointed in the right direction. When that did not happen, I assumed that no one had already implemented the capability.) Overlays are probably a better way to implement it. However, for my own purposes, the extra feedback from my own implementation (which I posted elsewhere in this thread) about how many lines are affected by commands makes it more useful to me. Up to now, I had not been regarding EmacsWiki as a resource for this sort of quest. I will consult it in future. Thanks for the pointer.
