I looked into it and I can only guess since you did not state it. But >>

for windows. So if you want to have the numbers I suggest you invest 
into an ide or text editor. There are many choices some of the free 
options are netbeans for an ide and notepad++ for text editor. Those 
both come with the option to have numbered lines.

If you like it in the irb you will have to run a windows machine it 
seems.

Hope this helps
