The Open Watcom C++ Compiler allows users to select a text editor. My editor of choice is Notepad++, but it lacks a command line parameter to select the column number of a error in the cpp code. Presently Notepad++ v4.0 can automatically select the line number of the error by Open Watcoms passing it's "%f -n%r" parameters, where %f is the automatic selection of the file name and %r the automatic selection of the row number. Open Watcom allows the passing of the column number with it's %c variable. It would be excellent if future versions of Notepad++ allowed a "-c" column input, fulfilling the full potential of it's environment with "%f -n%r -c%c".

Other compilers also spawn LineNo,ColumnNo error reports, so yes, this is
a good idea.
