That looks promising, but somehow it doesn't quite seem to work like I would expect, given that documentation:
test=:3 :0 open '~user/temp/1.ijs' wd 'sm set edit -1 30 -1 -1' ) test'' |sm : unrecognized sm command: set edit 30 -1 -1 test=: 3 : 0 open '~user/temp/1.ijs' wd 'sm set edit * 0 30 -1 -1' ) test'' |sm : unrecognized sm command: set edit 0 30 -1 -1 Are there working examples of positioning the active edit window to a given line?
