Need a Slide rule. Was: Two questions about trev

[DunbarX at aol.com]

I had suggested a while back that a horizontal character counting ruler in 
the script editor would allow one to find the char where an error occurs, 
which can be a pain in a long line. Such a ruler, accompanied by a slide rule 
like cursor, would also allow one to visually align the indentations of 
nested if-then and repeat structures. I actually sometimes use a straightedge to 
find ifs and their associated end-ifs.

I cannot figure out a way to make a semitransparent Rev app, which would do 
the job nicely. Or a semi-transparent dashboard widget; I could overlie the 
script editor with it and throw away my straightedge. 

Nobody thought this was a cool amenity though.
