How about using '^' as a line number of current position on ex command line? It is like this. :!emacs +^ % emacs +122 editing_file o Is this useful? o Is this the correct way to do it? o Are there better candidate character other than '^'? I'm ready to write a patch for it. Thank you in advanced. -- Shigio Yamaguchi (Freelance programmer) Mail: shigio@wafu.netgate.net, WWW: http://wafu.netgate.net/tama/
