EVE WHAT_LINE — VMS 5.5-2H4

 WHAT LINE

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

 Example:

    The following example shows the output from WHAT LINE, which is
    displayed in the message window at the bottom of the EVE screen:

       Command: WHAT LINE
       You are on line 35 out of 45 (78%).

 Usage notes:

 o  WHAT LINE 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.

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