I don't understand what you are saying here.
Isn't it easy enough to open a debug file and
write whatever you like into it? If your program
dies prematurely, Euphoria will close the file for you
and write out any buffered data. Also, there's already
a way to change "ex.err" to the path of another
file in another directory (see crash_file()).
