I just tried this in BBEdit Light's successor, Texwrangler. There is a command for this in the Text menu, called Add/Remove line numbers., so you don't even need a macro.
Textwrangler can be downloaded for free on http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ . I love that program, because it has syntax colouring, something that BBedit Light didn't have. Of course it's OSX only so a bit off topic here but I like to do some propaganda for this wonderful program. If there is a macro for line numbering in the Classic version as well you could try and find it on some Info-Mac ftp site. The BBEdit directory on those sites contain many free BBEdit extensions. >Hey all.
