Hello, thanks for that tip.  That was useful to know.  I have a related
question.  I use BBEdit as well as emacs and one feature I would
like in emacs is to have the line numbers displayed on the left of
my screen.  Not only where my cursor is but literally line numbers
down the side of my screen.  The goto function is useful, but would
be more useful if I knew exacly what line I needed to go to.

is this possible?

Thank you
Joss
