If I read that correctly, it just displays the file in Multiview. My
idea is to be able to go to the problem line and edit it (and any other
line), then save. The numbers would be just in the display, not saved
with the file.

To display only, you can open a shell and type

type foo.rexx opt n

(using the space bar to halt the display)
