EVE WHAT_LINE — VMS 5.1-B

 WHAT LINE

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

 o  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%).

 o  To go to a particular line by number, use the LINE command.  For
    example, the command LINE 10 puts the cursor at the start of line 10 in
    the current buffer.
