hello,

with this code  
–8\<—  
rescue SyntaxError, NameError, StandardError =\> boom  
print "\n\n Error: " + boom  
$stdin.gets  
exit  
end  
–8\<—

I’m able to react on most of all errors.

Sometimes in Win$ the console-window will be killed after  
a short time (with the error). How to avoid this to see the error?
