Some older versions had this bug, I remember. Reload the file/project 
and line numbers will reappear.

It can be changed in Edit->Preferences->Editor->Fonts & Colors.

So started with "Expanded with proper error handling and reporting it reads:" example (2nd one) on https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/File_input/output#Line_by_line , but the compiler insists that the two "close input" statements are "unreachable code".

The compiler is right. The loop is left only upon an exception, e.g. on 
the file end (End_Error) or on any other error.
