>- how can I retrieve the current line NUMBER of a list item (eg. I
>am in line number 8)
I think that'd be "word 2 of the selectedLine" (but don't be
surprised if it doesn't, I frequently mix up HC and Rev syntax since
I don't work with Rev much)
This works since the selectedLine is "line 7 of fld id 5" or whatever.
>- how can I set the colour of line N in a list item
"set the textColor of line N of me to 100,100,250"
or something along that line. Check out the docs on the "textColor"
property (or one of a similar name), chunk expressions ("line") and
colors.
>- how can I use the shell command to execute a program file in a

I don't know about this. It should just work, I suppose?

See the "lockLocation" property. It also locks the size.
