include machine.e
object IsDebugMode
IsDebugMode = getenv("DEBUGMODE")
if equal(IsDebugMode, "on") then
    if platform() > 2 then
        crash_file("/dev/tty")
    else
        crash_file("con:")
    end if
    crash_message(" ** PROGRAM CRASHED ** at ")
end if

Then run the script with 
(windows)
  SET DEBUGMODE=on 

or
(bash)
  DEBUGMODE=on; export DEBUGMODE

to get the messages on screen. Set it 'off' (or don't set it) to get the ex.err
file instead.
