SHOWNUMBER
TEDIT Commands
3–188 058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated
How to Use
Either type SHOWNUMBER alone on the command line or type
SHOWNUMBER ON or OFF on the command line.
What Happens
SHOWNUMBER alone places this message on the status line:
1) Number of current line: 3.1
SHOWNUMBER ON or OFF lists or erases the column of line numbers at
the left edge of the screen. TEDIT shifts the text ten columns to the right to
accommodate the line numbers. For example, the text in your file before
SHOWNUMBER ON:
A window (view)
of your text
This is what your
screen looks like with
SHOWNUMBER OFF.
Date: January 13, 1986
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a memo concerning what your screen looks like before you ask
TEDIT to display the line numbers in a file. When you ask TEDIT to show
the line numbers in your file, the text is shifted to the right 10
columns.
The next screen shows this. If you compare the right of this screen to
the right of the one following you can see the text has been shifted to
the right and the line numbers appear on the left.
If you are working in a file that has more than 60 characters in a line,
you will probably want to set SHOWNUMBER OFF, that way you can see the
entire file on the screen. Otherwise, you would have to shift the text
from left to right to see the entire text.
Thank you for your attention.
