Simply select the error message that looks something like:

File "foo.c"; Line 518 # ...

and hit enter.  The editor will bring foo.c to the front and select line
518 for you.  File is aliased to Target, which makes the argument the front
window.  Line is a script (found in {Scripts})  which simply selects the line
argument.  You can manually go to any line in any file by bringing up the
Find dialog, typing in the line number, clicking the Selection Expression
radio button, and clicking the Find button.  There is no way to make the
editor display line numbers to the left of the source.
