VI editior line numbers
Hello All,

I am very sure this a dumb question to many, but from my view its worth asking.

When I do a vi on a file, on the right bottom side I am seeing something like below:
Code:
27,16-24       7%

which tells me that I am on line 27 (which is the first number before the comma, i would like to know what are the numbers after comma in this case (16-24) denote ? the last percent number is the amount of file I have viewed, I think.
can any one tell me what that middle numbers with a dash in between denote.

Thanks
