I just wanted a function that returned the line number of
current point that I could use anywhere.
I need a function like %l I can use to return a number
e.g. (line-number)
Chris
P.S. I just want to replace %l with something clearer
in my .emacs. That's all.

As its doc string says, it prints the line number (and more) in the echo
area. Better is (count-lines (point-min) (point)), which actually returns
a number. And if you want to ignore any narrowing that may be in effect,
you need to do
(save-restriction
(widen)
(count-lines (point-min) (point)))

Does Emacs have a line-number function or is %l the only equivalent?
I think XEmacs has line-number but not Emacs.
