I have reciently started working on a UNIX workstation and have been
told that EMACS is the editor of choice (obviously these people have
never used a good text editor on a Macintosh).  In any case, I have
been slowly learning how to use this and am starting to get use to it.
But one thing bothers me, since I don't have the visual referenced I'm
use to, I would at least like to know what line number I'm on.  Is
there some way to make the line number where the cursor is located
show up on the information line?  Any help or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
	John Snow
