EVE WHAT_LINE — VMS 5.0

 WHAT LINE

 Shows the current line number, total number of lines in the buffer, and
 percentage of that position in the buffer.

 This is useful if you want to know whether to insert a page break or
 simply to find out how many lines are in the buffer.  For example, EVE
 shows a message like this:

    You are on line 35 out of 45 (78%).

 To go to a particular line by number, use the LINE command.  For example:

    LINE 10

 Puts the text cursor at the start of line 10 in the current buffer.
