Hi all,

Is there an option in the POVRay editor/CodeMax to show the line numbers
down the side of the document?

Yes, with a file open in the editor press Alt + Enter or go to Editor (main
menu) and Properties.  Under Misc you set Line Numbering Style to Decimal to
see them in the usual interger count.

Now is we could get a "goto" command everything would be great...

I take it that was a joke about programming languages which use line
numbers, as the editor does already have a Go To Line via Ctrl+G.  I don't
know if I'd want POV parsing by jumping around in the file like that.

but goto's are more fun,  especially whan you call all your labels 'LAB_A,
LAB_B, LAB_C' etc etc :)

I guess that they are more fun because the code gets cryptic and it is
fun when others have to guess how it works until you explain it to
them.  But cryptic code is not as useful as clear code since clear code
can be understood and modified easily.

Smart gotos are often more useful than cryptic loops.

  I have coded more than 2 years C++ professionally (ie. I make my living)
in a University in a Computer technology department. I have written several
tens of thousands of code (plus more as hobby).
  I have never needed to use goto.

  No, I don't hate goto and I don't avoid it intentionally. It's just that
I have still not found myself in a situation where goto would be the easiest
and cleanest solution.
  I don't make cryptic loops either.

    Sure, but how often do you use exception handling ? Before try & catch
existed, goto's were very handy for good, clean & safe exception handling.
