 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..

rcs-checkin

rcs-checkin(1)						      General Commands Manual						    rcs-checkin(1)

NAME

       rcs-checkin - check files into RCS

SYNOPSIS

       rcs-checkin [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION

       rcs-checkin is a helper script for checking files into RCS.  This program is distributed with GNU Emacs.

       This  program converts files with an old Emacs-style version history for use with the Emacs 19 version control interface VC, which likes to
       use RCS as its back end.

       For each file to be processed, the script looks for Emacs version files related to it. These files are checked in as deltas, oldest  first,
       so that the contents of the file itself becomes the latest revision in the master.

       The  first line of each file is used as its description.  The file itself is not deleted, as under VC with vc-keep-workfiles at its default
       of t, but all the version files are.

       If an argument file is already version-controlled under RCS, any version files are added to the list of deltas and deleted,  and  then  the
       workfile  is  checked in again as the latest version.  This is probably not quite what was wanted, and is the main reason VC doesn't simply
       call this to do checkins.

       In order to make it easier to use rcs-checkin *, files which are detectably either RCS masters (with names ending in ,v) or  Emacs  version
       files (with names containing ~) are ignored.

OPTIONS

       The program accepts no options.

SEE ALSO

       The  Emacs  version  control  interface is documented in the GNU Emacs manual, which  you  can  read  using Info, either from Emacs or as a
       standalone program.

AUTHORS

       rcs-checkin was originally written by Paul Eggert.  It was revised for use with GNU Emacs VC by Eric S. Raymond.
