That's always annoyed me about gnumacs as well, but I haven't taken the time to fix it. Microemacs, for example, gives you that information with the buffer-position function, which is bound by default to C-X= (two keystrokes). I believe that Unipress's does as well. It's a simply fix to rebind any key. Would you really use another editor that doesn't have an undo or autosave just because you don't like one or two key bindings in GNU Emacs? -Mike
