I think that the original question was refering to a Fatal Run time error.
The kind where a red Guru box appeares at the top of the screen.  If this
is the type of error the #<number> refers the that last physical line

compiler error message list ?

This can be done using the ARP library. See the demos that came with the
compiler package.  GetFile.BAS
