I don't see a need for line numbers in terminal, and they may screw up 
utilities such as dissect or other line readers/transformers.

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] line numbers

The terminal and each tab on edit forms are separate edit controls, so in
theory they could have separate line number configurations. However, I
would like to keep it to a simple on/off configuration.

I originally thought of line numbers as being a very occasional need, so it
hardly mattered whether they would be set on the terminal as well as the
edit tabs. However, I suspect that they are really only needed for edit
tabs, so perhaps we should just not show them in the terminal?
