If you are using vim then you may want to use the quickfix mode of
vim 6.0.

To use quickfix mode, you need to do the following.

When you are editing a .m file set the following variables
    set makeprg=mmake\ ERR_REDIRECT=

I guess you don't need to set errorformat because I don't appear to have
it set in .vimrc

Then while editing a .m file issue the
    :make
command.

Then any errors will be opened in the quickfix-window.
This allows you to select the error and it will jump you to the correct
line in the file, even after you have edited the file.  Very nice!

See
    :help quickfix-window 
for how to use this window.
