I think this is the kind of `yes, it's ugly, but I've got better things
to do' problem for which the BUGS section of the manual page was
designed.
Alternatively, only print a line number for syntax errors, on the
grounds that no information is better than false information.
rc does better than another scripting language I use regularly (cl in
IRAF -- an astronomical data mangling package), which always reports an
error as occuring on the line AFTER the last line in a file.
Alan.
