error message anomalies, anyone? -seriously-

[Erik Hansen]

seriously, i had bad troubles and now do these
things:

* use long cluttery lines with lots of quoted
literals
  as opposed to using cool Winkleresque functions

* set explicitVariables to true and
  declare all variables inside each handler

* put anything like (me, the target, the last,
etc)
  into a local variable and use that as a
reference.

it may not help, but it sure feels better!

sometimes the error messge reflects a real
problem,
like an inadvertant deletion, but doesn't find
that problem.

otherwise, as the man pointed out, jinking the
script helps.

as an apprentice level scripter, one does feel
diffident
about offering advice, but what harm, eh?
