I don't know either. I guess it is used for the 'tools->(un)comment'. But I'm 
not sure. But it doesn't have to do with text-folding.

Basicly, you determine kind of blocks. E.g. comments, blocks of commands, 
if/endif...
Then you have to identify, with which matched expression they begin and end. 
You add beginRegion="<kind>" to the expression (RegExpr...) that triggers the 
beginning of such a block and endRegion="<kind>" to the expression that ends 
it.
You should use different <kind> identifiers, so that an endRegion of a comment 
doesn't end you're function region.

Hope this gives you some hints...

Simon
