I have an unfortunate tendency when reading the newsgroup
in the morning to be cute rather than complete. :-(
Here is a good example where a little more testing on
my part would have been appropriate. It turns out (and
thanks to the fine folks at RSI for pointing this out
to me), that run-time versions of programs don't keep
track of line numbers--ever. So, really, the only choice
you have is to debug the program before you ever make
it a run-time application.
Cheers,
David

Most problems like this are solved by debugging the program
before a save file is made. :-)
But in the absence of this kind of attention to detail,
you can try CATCHing your errors and using the Error_Message
program on my web page for reporting them. This will call
Dialog_Message to display the error message on devices that
support widgets.
