Hi Jean; If you read Jonathon's note addressed to me, about reading pages, it looks like we do not need line when just going to a spacific page. I will have to try it out. See it works on your machine and let me know. The book I have right now is kind of goofey. Bye for now. Terry Powers

At the prompt press P number sign 35 comma space l 1 enter. If you had wanted a different line use a different number other than 1. But that takes you to the first line on page 35.
