Comet 32 behavior differences

I am trying to switch over to Comet 32...

The new Error Window makes it very hard to find problem in the code.

Beside beeing rather cryptic, it shows onlythe one last instruction address. Makes it hard to trace when we use 'ERRORTO'

In any case, I found this bizarre behavior:

if I write code that does this:

...
Let XKEY$ = '' ! Clear old key field
Let XKEY$ = Key(Lun,Excpsub=ExcpRet)
...

If the EXCP was an End-Of-File (2) then the result of XKEY$ is unpredictable. So the question is: WHY is the value of XKEY$ altered if the function failed ?

This worked beautifully in Comet 16. Anyone want to take a guess on how many programs I'd have to change to go to Comet 32 ??
