* Clear indication when I see the first/last line * Current position on some linear scale * Estimation how many screenfuls there are * Absolute line numbers and size Absolute numbers are only interesting if they have external significance (e.g. you want to see the line mentioned in an error log). For uses of fish_pager, I think it doesn't matter. Giving start and end percantages answers all the other questions conveniently: 0%-22% 78%-100% (start/end percentage should be rounded up/down so that 0% and 100% are unambigous). -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who can only read email on weekends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
