[Babase] Conversion errors and less commands

Hello Karl,

I am trying to tackle the next round of conversion errors.  To find 
details about a particular error from the "error" file I am trying to 
find the line number in the "loadscript" file.  I am opening the file 
with "less" and using the commands

$ g linenumber  or $ G linenumber

One searches from the beginning of the file forward  and the other from 
the end backwards.

Because this is such a huge file it  actually takes about 10 minutes (or 
more) to get to a particular line number. Is there another way we can do 
this?  If we have to do it this way I will be here until I am very old 
and grey!

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Leah
