This is absolutely correct!  If anyone is interested I have hacked
Jove to prompt for a line number at the goto-line prompt, this means
you can now type ESC-g [ line number ] <RETURN> and Jove will take you
to that line (provided it exists!) and then inform of where you are in
the file. 

I have also hacked in a function to display the filenames of
the current directory into a scratch buffer by typing a '?' at the
find-file prompt.  Similar to Gosmacs, however there is no completion
of names at the present time.  Basically it does an 'ls -C' to a
scratch buffer then returns to the extended prompt.

If anyone is interested in these hacks send mail.
