It also depends on the Windows version and probably on the used editor --
unfortunately I don't know anything about multiEdit. See e.g.:

BTW: Rob, is there a way to make shorter references to posts in the

It's important to mention that file, in order to make sure that a new user
knows about it. However, reading the error message directly on the
screen is much faster than looking into that file.
"ex.err" contains more comprehensive information than the error message
on the screen, but in say 95% of the cases I don't neeed that additional
information.
