Good thoughts.  The version of tcl that we are using only has one show 
highlight and it does this in a way that makes what you suggest just a 
bit difficult.  If you decide to try what I suggest below I wouldn't set 
it for the top line rather for three or four lines above the bottom.

I see on the version of tkemcex that I have running here that there is 
one line below the highlight line.  If you are willing to do just a 
little editing to 

emc/tcl/lib/extkemc/updateStatus2.tcl 

we can set it closer to where you want it.  The line to fix is about 289 
down in the file and it and the line above it reads

# position text so line shows
$programfiletext see [expr $activeLine.0 + 1]  

Change the number 1 just inside the right bracket to the number of lines 
that you want to see below the highlight line.

You do not need to compile anything.  Simply start tkemcex after making 
the changes and it should work the way you want it to.

If you would rather replace the file with one that I edit here, let me 
know.

Hope this helps.
