Hi All,
I did not find any article online describing how to show line numbers on
the left side of each line. Could anybody help me with this?
Thanks,
Stan

This is a FAQ. See the EmacsWiki at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki for
"ine numbers" or "number lines".

If you currently have a 32-bit UNIX system, you are advised to
trade it in for a 64-bit one sometime before the year 2106.

However, the working is weird. I found the display-line-numer, but,
yes. it shows line number, but whenever I try to edit a source code,
the line number is disappeared. Is other way to keep the line number
showing?

Sorry I garbled the link. Still in no-sleep mode. I found a lot more there,
including a detailed discussion of the proposed solutions and their
drawbacks. Have you given wb-line-numbers a shot?

I tried to find out where wb-line-numbers.el is, but I couldn't. If
you know the site link, would you please let us know it?

Also, the line number things I posted was the first shot I saw. After
seeing the mechanism works of line number, I found out that it just
put line numbers in raw data. I thought the displaying line numbers
are separated work like notepad++ or other text editors in Windows OS.
So, well, :) For beginner like me and for people already get used to
Windows, emacs does not seem to be attractive, though. :p

Just load it. setnu+.el is a minor enhancement of setnu.el. setnu+.el loads
setnu.el. Both are available here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=index;match=%5C.(el%7Ctar)(%5C.
gz)%3F%24.

Some explanation is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/LineNumbers.

Sorry, I really should get some sleep: It's wb-line-number.el (without the "s"
at the end)
