Can some links be added to the help files concerning trace, ex.err, and crashing?
A good idea. I'm sure we can add better docs for this important area.
The docs on crash_file() seem to be saying "use this to crash the program" ...
I'm not seeing that. I think the docs on crash_file() are quite clearly saying that all it does it nominate where crash messages go, in the event that the program happens to crash for whatever reason. It never says anything like "use crash_file() to cause your program to crash. Maybe you have confused the crash() routine with this instead.
But it is a procedure, procedures do something. To me, calling crash_file() says to go write a crash_file right now. But i don't want a crash_file right now, even if i want a file containing that same data for debugging at this point, i don't want a crash.
I kept trying to set (variable) crash_file = location.
