Error messages

The original Sinclair ROM, when a program is halted due to a user BREAK or STOP statement, or perhaps due to an error in the program, would clear the bottom two lines of the display.

BasinC has a mechanism in place that avoids that problem, which is to pop up an Error Dialog which contains the error. Clicking the Okay button will hide the dialog, and return you to the editor. The Continue button will issue a CONTINUE as a Direct Command and resume program execution if possible.

You can turn this behaviour off with the checkbox at the bottom of the Error Dialog or by using the relevant Options page.
