Thanks for that explanation of the concise versus expanded error messages. It still leaves two big question though which is why the artificial error in Tcl_GetMatrixPtr generated by my local one-line change never gave the expected message (in either direct or script mode) No matrix operator named... and why when there is a real Tcl_GetMatrixPtr error which should generate some variant of No matrix operator named... that message is completely suppressed in script mode as occurred recently before my fix to stop using GetEntries for the last argument (which is scalar) in plmaptexCmd.
