[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for your very kind reply.

I will use help-gnu-emacs in the future for such pleas for help.

I do understand your suggestion to use the end of file stuff.  I use
it all the time.

However, in my one particular case I have a huge file
that is growing at the end and I love to watch it with 'tail' mode
and line numbers.

Thanks,

Bob
