The line/char number uses the 'LED-digits' in the ATARI character set.
Apparently they have an editor that recognizes these. If you don't know
what that means: it is in decimal, where the character representation is:

0x10 -> '0'
0x11 -> '1'

I have written an intermediate program 'editor.prg', that I posted some
time ago. I have improved this to convert the line/char number to normal
ASCII chars. I will post this tomorrow.

By the way, this is not in the docs, I just found this by reading the error
file with the program 'memfile 1.4'
