Juan & Nick,
I like your ideas, but my case is a little different. I only want to
hide the BEGIN/END statements, not what comes between them.
That is, I'm using a trick Ido Magal suggested
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/39226).
It works fine, except I see all the distracting block directives.
Cheers.
