If you only change them in the visible portion of the current window, does that mean that line-number overlays in other windows on the same buffer would never be updated (so long as they remained unselected)? Even if, say, an insertion had changed all the line numbers visible in another window? Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
