View Ref-FileTrace lines

This option enables tracing with line numbers. The line number will be written
to low memory (crash report area) before each instruction in the listing is
executed.

Options:

REM #TL+  !on
RME #TL-  !off

This is a slow process and can consume an additional 10 bytes per line.  Only
commands which generate code are traced. I recommend never distributing a
binary compiled this way, since it makes the binary bigger and slower.

A typical, yet simple use would be to track down a mysterious crash. A simple
trace with this can do miracles.

After the crash, reboot if needed. Load the source in question and click
'Crash Report'.
