Well, it is, you know. In my 3rd Edn, July 2000 printing, it's indexed about half way down the left column on p1011, where it is also described as $INPUT_LINE_NUMBER. Admittedly, the first reference (to p103) is off, as some refs are in this edn. But it's only just over onto p104. And p665 (correct this time!) gives you the goods.
