Here's how I would tackle it, kinda. :)=20

-- this is pretty much pseudo-eu code
-- i'm not sure how you display text,
-- but this seems like a fairly straight-
-- forward approach=20

constant TEXT = 1,
    FLAG = 2

constant FOLD_ON = 1,
    FOLD_OFF = 0

sequence textBuffer
    textBuffer[1][TEXT] = {"Line 1", "Line 2", ... }
    textBuffer[1][FLAG] = { FOLD_OFF, FOLD_OFF, ... }

integer topLine, foldState
    topLine = 1
    foldState = FOLD_OFF

for i = topLine to length( textBuffer[1][TEXT] ) do

    -- check fold state
    if foldState = FOLD_OFF then
        -- display line i
        displayLine( textBuffer[1][TEXT][i] )

        -- check fold flag
        if textBuffer[1][FLAG][i] = FOLD_ON then
            -- show fold button [+] on line i
            showFoldButton( i )
            -- save fold state
            foldState = FOLD_ON
        end if

    elsif foldState = FOLD_ON then
        -- check fold flag
        if textBuffer[1][FLAG][i] = FOLD_OFF then
            -- display line i
            displayLine( textBuffer[1][TEXT][i] )
            -- save fold state
            foldState = FOLD_OFF
        end if

    end if

    -- check for bottom of screen
    if textReachedBottom() then
        -- done
        exit
    end if
end for
