byte offset in POINT_LUN [message #55270]

as i'm cruising through, reading a large ascii file, I'd like to keep
track of the beginning of certain "blocks" of code. in the event that
i find what i'm looking for within the block, I'd like to PRINTF the
entire block (the beginning of which is now above my file position).
I've used POINT_LUN to return to the start of a file before, by
setting position=0, but is there a way I can use POINT_LUN to go to a
specific line within the file (since I'm not sure how that would
correspond to a byte offset) ?
