EVE LINE — VMS 5.0

 LINE

 Moves the cursor to the start of a line you specify by number -- either in
 the buffer or within a specified procedure in the buffer.  (Some compiler
 messages refer to line numbers within a procedure.)

 Examples:

    Command           Purpose or effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    LINE 10           Moves to the start of line 10 in the current buffer.

    LINE 10 myproc    Moves to the start of line 10 in a procedure called
                      MYPROC in the current buffer.

 o  If you do not specify a line number, EVE prompts for one, but does NOT
    prompt for a procedure name.

 o  The number must be must be at least 1.  If you specify a number greater
    than the total number of lines in the buffer, EVE puts the cursor at
    the end of the buffer.

 o  To find out the current line number and total number of lines in the
    buffer, use WHAT LINE.
