Hi

My Emacs gladly displays the current line (L50 if anyone cares), but not the
current column. I've seen other Emacs' doing it, so I know its possible. But
how do I turn it on?
I'm using emacs 23.11

Try M-x column-number-mode

Best wishes.

Thank you. But how do I then make it stay that way when restarting emacs?

`column-number-mode'.
See the Emacs manual, node `Position Info'.

Add

    (setq column-number-mode t)

to your ~/.emacs file.

Best wishes.

I think turning on the minor mode, instead of just setting the variable,
is more official way:

    (column-number-mode 1)
