FWIW here is a Zeus editor, Python macro script to do this:

    import zeus

    def key_macro():
        zeus.screen_update_disable()

        # get the line is the current document
        line_total = zeus.get_line_count()

        # message in status bar
        zeus.message("Line Count: %d" % (line_total))

        # write the line number to the start of each line
        for i in range(1, line_total + 1):
            zeus.set_line_pos(i, 1)
        	number = "%4d " % (i)
            zeus.write(number)

        zeus.screen_update_enable()
        zeus.screen_update()

    key_macro() # run the macro

To use the script, just load the text file into Zeus and then
run the macro above from within Zeus.
