If I select columns or lines in vim, then the statusline at the bottom of the 
window shows the number of columns or lines selected before the cursor line and 
column numbers and percentage thru the file, or the modeline if multiple windows 
are visible e.g.

-- SELECT --				4	7,2		All
or
-- SELECT --						4

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis              Calgary, Alberta, Canada
