In the lower left corner is 2 numbers separated by a ':' character. The numbers are line:column. So for example, 4:18 means the cursor is on line 4 column 18.
I don't think WeBuilder has a ruler option if that's what you're looking for, but you can set it to 'Show Right Margin' at a particular column and it will display a grey line there in the editor, That's in the 'Options\Preferences\TextEditor\View' property page.
I'm using WeBuilder 6.3, so this information might not apply to version 2.6.
