Hi again!
Well, in my case "f", "ctrl-G" etc. reports the lines the file has
plus a percentage information for the actual cursor position. The
latter allows to calculate the actual line.
As for the 2nd issue, I tried ":hardcopy ~/test.ps", ":hardcopy >
~/test.ps" etc., but my system does not dump it in test.ps (and sends
it instead immediatelly to the default printer). Now way to stop this
stupidity?
Regards,
Walter
