  10. This seems extremely simple, but I've run into the problem several times
  11. and gotten stumped each time.  So how do I view a particualr line of a 
  12. file?  Head looks at the top, tail the end, cat - echo - more - or less-
  13. look at the whole thing... but what if I want to see just line 30?
  14. or JUST line 210?  I'm stumped.
