This method works well... >> m: error? try [ write %test "test" ] == false >> m: error? try [ write test "test" ] == true This will elleviate the problem with nothing being returned from write... >> m: try [ write %test "test" none] == none But you will still have to capture the error... >> m: try [ write test "test" none] ** Script Error: test has no value. ** Where: write test "test" none I just know how to bottle it up and spit it out later... >> if error? m: try [ write test "test" none] [ print "error detected!" m ] error detected! ** Script Error: test has no value. ** Where: write test "test" none Maybe someone knows how to peel an error! apart? --Ryan "Life...
