When using the compile function from within the editor, the errors
stored in memory are not cleared. Thus, if you do not go through all
errors with the nextmsg function, the errors remain even if another
compile is done. Therefore, if the second compile process does not
produce any errors, the errors from the previous compile show up and
put the cursor on an unpredictable line.

To work around this problem, make sure you look at all of your error
messages from each compile.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Microsoft Editor
Version 1.00. This problem was corrected in Version 1.02 of the
Editor.
