To see that a current line number display suffices, if you're able to do a quick subtraction (which I assume you can), although even that's not really neccessary, as the similarity of the digit pattern often suffices o judge whether it's a close location or farther away. > 2) Discussing code via email or newsgroups, it is handy to simply look > at the code, and be able to see the line number to quote in the message. Even here a current line number display will suffice. If you're the one explaining the code, you'll usually navigate to the pertaining location. If you're the one receiving the information, you can jump to the position given. A separate line number display can only make it a bit easier to refer to lines nearby, but then, you can calculate the number easily, or use "relative addressing" by giving a line distance, like "two lines above". But then, it won't really hurt if at least it's possible to disable it. ;-) -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
