Friday is "free pizza day" at my place. Of course this script will only get you "part way there", about as worthy as a $5.00 pizza. :-) You will need to add scrolling(hint: add a frame first, then add a Scrolled Text to the frame), and you will need to devise bindings to return the line number selected. But I will leave that to you, what do you expect for $5.00?, you won't get a full load of toppings.
