I see your point, but if you look at the line above it tells you exactly
what line and column you are on. So are you really missing any
information.
BTW, the highest voted RFE is to provide indentation and formatting, so it
is definitely on my radar screen.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Ruler at top of editor
Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I prefer to have the ruler too. For one thing, it is easier to see where
columns 6 and 7 are. Free-Form+++++ tells me nothing. I also just noticed
that that as I arrow down through a sub-procedure, the ruler area changes
as follows: last D-spec = column names, blank line = column names from
previous D-spec, /Free = ruler, blank line = column names from previous
D-spec, free format line = Free-From+++++.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting - I am guessing that it came with the full free-format support.
In that support, maybe you aren't supposed to need to know what column you
are in. Me, I've still prefer to know that, for alignment, because I still
don't see the editor doing the best job of alignment when inserting and all
that - Visual Studio's way of handling VB, with adjustment up and down
everything, can be much better.

I just installed the fixpack for RDi, bringing me up to version 9.0.1. I am
not sure when this behavior changed but it is different than 8.5.1:
When I open a source member with a comment as the first line, the line at
the top of the editor is like a ruler, "....+....1....+....2" etc. In
version 8.5.1, as I scroll down through the program and put my cursor on a
free format line, the ruler is still displayed. In version 9.0.1, the same
behavior is exhibited when I open the source member, but when I scroll down
and put my cursor on a free format line, the line at the top of the editor
window shows "Free-Form+++++++++++++". When did that change and was it
intentional?
