If its any help, the way we deal with this is to create a custom "execution
error" window. When there is an error, that window is opened and runs the
normal openCard / etc. scripts. It reads in, displays, and empties the
executionError property. You might want to consider this - you could
certainly have it log errors easily enough if you wanted too.
