Ved attempts to display as much information about you file as is reasonable. At the bottom left of the screen the filename of the buffer is displayed; on the bottom right it displays the status for some options and the current linenumber.
The status indicators are:
The line number is the number used by Ved to display lines. If you have wordwrapping enabled, this number will not be the same as the count of end of line characters. It is really a count of ``screen'' lines.
Pressing [Esc][B] displays the number of lines, characters and words in the buffer. If a block is defined, information for the block will be displayed as well.
