#print
You can also use the "=" command to find out what
the 'current' line is. Since the
current line is referred to as '.', do you see that
.=
is the appropriate command to print the current line
number? So if you go through a sequence like
3p
.=
the second command will print '3'. That's not very
exciting, so why don't you edit file 'roger',
print the next to last line, and then use '.='
to find out what it is. Don't forget to exit
from the editor with w, and then q. Then
finish by typing "answer N" where
N is what you found, as usual.
