Does anyone have any elisp to do something like split the screen vertically
into 2 windows, the one on the left "small", and then display the line
numbers of the file in the right window in the left window?  Sort of like
the functionality of "set numbers" in vi, or line numbers delivered by "cat -n"?
This is the one thing I like better about vi than emacs!

If so, I'd appreciate some source.  Please email to
englehar@src.honeywell.com.

Thanks much,

Matt
