Select Error Line

This item is only enabled under System 7 or later. If ticked, this flag tells to include an extra parameter in the ``open file'' event sent when you type ``e'' in response to TEX's ``?'' prompt (which normally occurs after a TEX error). The extra parameter specifies the line number so your editor can automatically select the line containing the error. However, some editors can't handle the extra parameter and won't even open the file. You will need to experiment with your editor to see if it can select the error line; if it can't then make sure ``Select Error Line'' is not ticked. Note that AlphaLite supports the extra parameter.
