True, the format you describe is what the engine outputs when errors are 
encountered, sent as the argument to the errorDialog message.

But the IDE's revBackScript includes an errorDialog handler which 
translates that into a conveniently readable form, also made available 
for inclusion in standalones in the Standalone Builder.

Given that RunRev provides this lookup automatically, no one should ever 
see the raw error data in either the IDE or a standalone.

If they do it means the errorDialog handler either wasn't triggered 
properly, or is somehow failing itself.

So my interest is in identifying a recipe in which an errorDialog 
message is sent but the info is being displayed in raw form rather than 
the more readable format LiveCode normally provides.

My question here was about the perception that LiveCode isn't reporting 
errors correctly.  If I have questions about your product I'll write you 
off-list.
