Subject: BASIC line numbering

Does anyone know how line numbers are stored in a BASIC program? as I
tried to work it out and it doesn't seem consistent. I have a simple
little search procedure that searches a BASIC program (good for finding
the line numbers in large programs, or the occurences of strings or
variables etc.). However, sometimes it gives an incorrect line number
using my method, which is something along the lines of:- previous code
line would finish with a CR (13) then the next line number would occupy
the following two bytes (hi/low).
