Re: Notepad problem - solved!

[Wendell Slattery]

Doug,

Thanks! I never noticed that before. It does solve the
problem. The reason this is needed is that I am doing
some javascript programming in my html files, and the
debugger lists errors by line number. When you don't
have line numbers, that can be a bit frustrating!

And for the rest of you who gave suggested editors that
include line numbers, I will look into those as they
would be helpful for some other things I do. Thank you
for your suggestions which are much appreciated.
