I am not sure about the erase-buffer in the above: do we definitely want
to remove all previous error information? For version mismatch possibly
we do but in patch 9 it is done for all show command-line error returns.
Incidentally why does show always pop-up an error but search only for
version-mismatches?
Otherwise this looks good to me (but I am not that familiar with lisp
error handling)
Best wishes
