I need a text editor (actually just a viewer) that identifies the line the
cursor is on.

Can I turn on line numbers or a status line that shows line numbers in
anything that comes with XP?


Thanks

Someone posted a link to this Notepad like utility not too long ago,
it's small, free and does what you want:

Notepad2

Thanks. I've looked for that many times, especially with web html source
pages. I couldn't believe there was no simple program to do this since I
used UNIX VI (which had a line-number option) way back in the dark ages.

Notepad does that, just turn on Status, and turn off WordWrap.

ConTEXT editor is free, and extremely powerful, and does what you
want.

If you're used to vi, then VIM is for you: www.vim.org
