Hi Ron,

Welcome on the Linux bandwagon. The most simple way is to use "vi"
and at the command entry do ":nu" which will automatically number
each line.

I suggest you purchase the "Learning VI editor", by Linda Lamb
isbn 0-937175-67-6 about AUD$44.95 at hotline books in Chatswood.
Publisher is O'Reilly & Assoc.; alternatively try a university library.

Cheers Grahame
