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()). Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
