Thanks, Neil. I'd been hoping to avoid scratch documents, but that WOULD do the job, so why not?

Thanks again,
Rick Gordon

String":

 1. Copy the entire document to a new document.
 2. Use the *add line numbers* command to add line numbers to the
    lines in the new document.
 3. Use the *process lines containing *command on the new document,
    using your grep pattern, with the *output options* parameter set
    to *{ copying to clipboard: false, copying to new document: false,
    deleting matched lines: true, reporting results: false }*.

Now your new document should contain just the lines of the original document that don't match your grep pattern, prefixed with their original line numbers.
