EVE LINE — VMS 5.4

 LINE

 Moves the cursor to the start of a line you specify by number---either in
 the current buffer or within a specified TPU procedure in the buffer.

 Examples:

    Command           Purpose or Effect
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    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 named
                      MYPROC in the current buffer.  Useful because some
                      compiler messages refer to line numbers within a
                      procedure.

 Usage notes:

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

 o  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.
