It doesn't? Mine does; it doesn't list them all but it does list the line
the cursor is on. Move the insertion point and watch it count up until you
reach the target line.

Or use PFE32, which has an option to display line numbers along the left
edge of the edit box. I find I prefer PFE to RHIDE when using Winblows, as
RHIDE in a DOS box is a bit cramped and claustrophobic :-) and I don't like
all the alt-tabbing and video mode switching to field emails and ICQ
messages or do other stuff in Windows. (Mode switching is slow on this
video hardware and, furthermore, I've heard that lots of frequent mode
switching shortens monitor life.)

An LS120?
