  12. Hello Gnuish,
  13. I know that Emacs is not a line type editor but I've been doing
  14. a lot of patching lately and it would be helpful....
  15.  
  16. I tried line-nos.el from the archive but it doesn't work for me.
  17. It's quite an amazing kluge though..
  18.  
  19. Next I tried to write a keyboard macro that would combine next-line
  20. with what-line:
  21.  
  22.          (define-key SS3-map "q" 'line-nnum)
  23.          (fset 'line-nnum
  24.         "^N^[xwhat-line^M)
  25.  
  26. It moves down a line but does not do what-line.
  27.  
  28. Am I trying to do something that can't be done easily? It seems like
  29. it would work as a macro...but I am not elispoid.
