 search backward         ?         Ctrl - r (text incremental search) 

Glossary

 RET: Many commands in emacs bring up a prompt line at the bottom of the editor screen
      (like the ":" command line at the bottom of the vi editor) where you need to
      provide additional information after which you press the Enter/Return key
      to cause the command to act.

 Esc: Unlike the Alt/Ctrl/Meta/Shift key combinations, Esc key combinations require
      that you press and release the Esc key before you press the next key. On Unix
      workstations, you may be able to use the Meta key instead of the Esc key (in
      which case, you would keep the Meta key pressed when pressing the next key in
      the key combination).

Oops .. well, this still doesn't show you how to display line numbers in emacs, but at least you can go to a certain line..
