"M-x goto-line 4893" will jump to the line in question[1] "M-x line-number-mode" will toggle display of the line number in the status bar. If you put (setq line-number-mode t) into your .emacs file, it will be enabled on startup. You can set "(setq column-number-mode t)" to get column numbering, too. (global-set-key "\C-cg" 'goto-line) will allow you to press "Control-c" "g" instead of typing "M-x goto-line". I don't claim that this is the most effective way to do this, but it works fine for me. Ah, and by the way, there is a nice reference sheet coming with emacs (in /usr/share/emacs/<version>/etc/refcard.tex). It's written in TeX and you would have to call "tex refcard.tex" and "dvips refcard.dvi", but there are already made PDF's out there, e.g. http://faculty.uml.edu/mbumble/courses/16.342/help/refcard.pdf HTH, Benjamin. [1] That is, "meta-key with x" "goto-line" <RETURN> "4893" <RETURN> where "meta-key with x" is either "press ESC, press x" or "hold left-ALT and press x" whichever you prefer.
