My supervisor doesn't like seeing the sequence numbers that are along the left side of the program when viewing thru LPEX.

Is there a preference to eliminate that from the display? I looked thru the LPEX preferences, but couldn't find it.

I think you could write a plugin that changes your profile but I gave up
after my profile for WDSC 4 didn't work for 5. One of those upgrades
anyway. The last working profile I had with customisations was with
Code/400.

Nevertheless, you can issue a command to hide the sequence numbers every
time you open a member... While editing, press Escape, which moves the
cursor from the source code to an unlabelled box at the bottom of the
source. Type

set prefixArea off

and press Enter. Case is important. Press Escape to get back to the
source. There may be a way to do that with the mouse but I'm keyboard
oriented. The keyboard I'm typing this on was made in the US by IBM in
1984 and it goes clickety-clack all day :-)

Hope that helps. I'm feeling less and less helpful as the years roll
by. I found it by going to the command line (Escape) and typing help
set (because I could not remember the exact parameter.) That slowly
brought up a browser which gave me a list of parameters. prefixArea
seems so obvious in retrospect, doesn't it? LOL
