                  thou shalt not edit folded subtrees.

Hi, Kelly,

I can understand that this seems to be illogical from your point of
view, but  folded subtrees are meant for a faster and cleaner
organization of the text, not for editing.

Once you've decided to edit a subtree you should expand it.

Hope that explains,

Giovanni
