What I see is this:  "Line:  1  Column:  _", followed by a pale vertical 
bar, followed by a pale colored disk with the white letter "L".

Oh, thanks for the info.  Amazing that an otherwise competent text 
editor should lack such essentials.  BTW, the information in the URL 
above differs a bit from what my copy of TextMate (1.5.6) shows: the 
"View Source as PDF" is in the Latex bundle rather than the Source 
bundle.  Where's the best place to get pdfsync and pdflatex?
