1 - Please turn off HTML when posting to a newsgroup.  Not all of us
read news in a browser.

2 - Why do you want to display the line number?

If it's to be able to see what line the cursor is on, emacs, I think
by default, displays the line number in the modeline.

If it's to be able to goto a specific line, 

        M-x goto-line

is convenient.

If it's to step through compiler errors or the output of grep, 

        M-x next-error

is convenient.
