I found this absolutely impossible to figure out, and then it seemed
pretty obvious once someone told me.  You select the line with the
error message and hit Enter.  I don't remember the exact syntax of the
error message, but it's something like:

	File bletch.c : line n 		# Some random error here.

which apparently is a valid shell command.
