      10 or 11, actually, counting the M-X.

   I get 9 too.  M-x wha<SPACE>l<SPACE><RETURN>.  You could bind that to
   a key if you frequently use it.  I have bound C-x C-l to goto-line,
   and I use C-x l for count-lines-page(I don't use  that often).

      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?

Sorry about coming in on the middle of this discussion, but I had to say that
in addition to undo and autosave, I find the ability to do multiple buffer,
multiple file, and multiple window editing indispensible.   As a programmer,
I tend to edit about 3 headers and 3 source files simultaneously.
This alone makes emacs worth using.  Sure it's a pain to have to 
write startup files to rebind keys to commonly used functions, but jeez, 
you only gotta do it one time.
