Where can I find a definitive list of the ModelSim error codes?

I am running some VHDL through ModelSim. Each error and warning has its own error code (like this: (vcom-1292) Slice range direction "downto" specified in slice with prefix of unknown direction. This is just an example message; I understand what it means.

I assume that Mentor has a list of all possible error codes and a more elaborate description of what they mean, and how to avoid them. I did not find this error code in the PDFs that come with ModelSim, nor did I find it through Google. Any pointers anybody?

There is a modelsim command called verror with an -all option to list them all, and other options to inspect the messages further.
