• In vi, if you want to see the line number of the file, you can either:
  • type
    :set number
    while in a vi session
    OR
    
  • edit your .exrc file to contain
    set number
    notice no colon here OR
    
  • You can simply go into command mode and type the number line you want to go to.

• So far all I can find in Emacs is
  • ESC-x goto-line n RETURN
    OR
    ESC-g n RETURN
    to go to line number n in the file

• For pico when you are in the file using pico if you type
  • CRL-c
    it reports the current cursor position (line number) under the text

• In WinSCP3 the menu bar on top has an icon of a document with some yellow on it. Click on it an it asks what line number you want to go to.
