     Later on, the proposal says,
     "The number parameter ... specifies the new line number of the following text line."
     
     So we could change this introductory text to
     
     "The `line directive shall set the line number and filename of the following line to
     those specified in the directive."

     Yes, typo, thanks.

     Also correct, thanks.
     
     I'd also like to remind that this proposal covers issue #291 as well.
     
     Shalom
