Hi,
When I compile a buffer I often get an error message like this:
-+ Errors (1) `-- Read error in form starting at 3192: ";; (list `(:p :class "small"" End-of-File on #<Stream for file "/home/jcunningham/code/lisp/html/test.lisp"> [+] Notes (2)
My question is: is there a way (key-code maybe?) to find that start point in the file? Is there some way to get at least a line number? I've looked through some of the documents and googled a bit but haven't come up with anything yet. That number must be useful for something beyond counting characters from the beginning. ;-)

M-x goto-char is a standard emacs function. For the special case of slime it should be possible to just hit enter on the message. Both methods will fail if the file has been changed a lot since being compiled.

I tried hitting enter on the message in slime but it didn't do anything - whereas it does in some other kinds of error messages.
I didn't know about the M-x goto-char. That helps.
Thanks!
