Re: key binding for jump to line

[Greg Hill]

David,

I believe what you probably want is (move-to-window-line linenum). 
The goto-line function counts lines from the beginning of the buffer. 
The move-to-window-line function counts lines from the top of the 
current display.  See section 30.2.5 of the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference 
Manual for details.
