Executable lines are the kewlest thing since sliced bread. It's what enables 
us to make a single tree knowledge source, regardless of the knowledge's 
source. For instance:

Artie Kegler
	: Artie Kegler is the world's best musician
	Picture: _exe_ kuickshow /home/litt/artiepicture.jpg
	Sample song: _exe_play /home/litt/white_horse_dreams.mp3
	Fanclub page: http://stevelitt.a3b3.com/artiekegler/index.html

Now, place the cursor ANYWHERE on a line with _exe_ on it, press ,,e and the 
command line following the _exe_ will be executed.

When I use VO as a presentation tool, I always use lots of executable lines.

I'm not sure, but I don't think you need anything in .vimoutlinerrc any more. 
There was a long period where executable lines weren't supported by the 
official VO distribution, but some of us were using it, so we put the hooks 
into .vimoutlinerrc.
