Well, I'd like to stick with PSGML for the editing rather than use
another mode (though I will check xxml.el out anyway). So, is there a
way to automatically simulate what happens when I hold the arrow key

Crude, but possibly effective...

I'll probably install this for quick editing and use SGML as primary...
