Emacs is a screen-based editor, not a line editor. Line numbering doesn't
belong inside gnumacs. If you want it, write yourself an elisp package. Such
a package for gosmacs was posted to the net a while back. You could track
down a copy and convert it. It shouldn't be hard to find the gosmacs goto.ml
package to go with it.
