>- 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 
>path which has long file/directory names

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

>- how can I read in a picture file into an image container without 
>it changing the size of the container

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