File and Line commands are part of the error messages produced by many MPW tools. Executing such error messages allows you to jump quickly to the line containing the error. For example, executing the following error message makes Count.c the active window and selects line 75.

### Undefined symbol: length
  File "Count.c"; Line 75

C compiler error messages can do this because File is defined as an alias for the Target command in the MPW Startup file. Thus, the File command opens the specified file as the target window. The Line command then selects the offending line and makes the window the active window.
