Summary: 


I find the following mlisp function, bound to a keypad
key in my vt100.ml, gives me all I want for line
numbers without messing up my screen.

It -- depending on whether I have just pressed my "gold key" --
	(1) gives the line number of the cursor
	(2) goes to a line number

  (vt100-line-number
    (if (= vt100-gold-key-pressed 0)
      (message (concat "line number = " (line-number)))
      (goto-line (get-tty-string "go to line number: "))
    )
    (setq vt100-gold-key-pressed 0)
  )
