Hello there,
I know what you mean, but you do get the traceback printout
that helps a lot i think.
If you need to see more lines maybe you could use an editor that
automatically opens up to the line number where the last
error occurred. It's not that hard to implement and i might
put it in my own personal editor too.
Take care for now,
Al
