For that matter the dos command "edit" isn't a bad editor for programming when visiting random windows host. It also gives locations and is binary safe when used as edit /b.

Some others that I really like are notepad++ winvi. All of these programs (including pspad) require no installation. As an aside, you can view row counts with notepad. View -> Status Bar. You must have word wrap disabled for this option to be available. This will give you a status bar that shows the row you are currently on. Go to the bottom and voila. It will not display the total row count like more advanced editors. Roderick Thomas wrote: > For those of you who I haven't met . . . > > I'm a novice programmer.
