PSS: I figured it out. It now goes to the line number in both view and edit
modes
in ~/.bashrc added:
# mc needs VIEWER or PAGER as well as EDITOR set in order to pass line number
VIEWER=tilde
EDITOR=tilde
in ~/.config/mc/ini added:[External editor or viewer parameters]
tilde=%filename:%lineno
Needed to log out and back in for it to take effect

PS: I'm using mc version 4.8.18 on AntiX17 which is based on Debian Stretch
and mc comes preinstalled and preconfigured, but I did add the mc-wrapper.sh
mode. I am running it from an mrxvt-mini terminal, but I don't think that is
causing my troubles.

When I use Find file to get a list of files containing a string, if I am using
the internal viewer and press F3 on a file from the list it opens the file in
the viewer and positions me on the line number it found the string at, but when
I use Tilde, it tries to open the line number itself as a file. I waant to use
Tilde as my viewer because I am using it as my editor, and I want the
functionality between the viewer and editor to be consistent, only differing in
the ability to change and save.
Tilde can view or edit the file and uses a syntax of:
tilde %filename:%lineno
Note the colon ":" between the filename and line number to go to
How can I configure Midnight Commander to run tilde passing the parameter that
way?

I added this to my ~/.config/mc/ini but it didn't help:
[External editor or viewer parameters]
tilde=%filename:%lineno
Please tell me how to make this work?
ThanksBobC
