When trying to locate an error that includes a line number, it would be nice to see line numbers or at least the present line number of the cursor somewhere in the edit page.

I just posted up a new build that includes a snazzy code highlighting editor capability.

To use it you must upload 2 files to your module using the file manager page.
The 2 files are located here.

Once these 2 files are uploaded (don't decompress them. upload them as .gz files) the editor page will show line numbers and will start highlighting key words and such.

I used code mirror's vbscript highlighting example and have not added all the commands and functions for esp basic yet but it will do a good job with logic structures like if then statements, strings, values and math

I like it, works well! Thanks, I was also getting tired of counting lines to find my errors!
