That's (currently) impossible. The error messages have to be printed
using bios devices, as it wouldn't otherwise be possible to produce such
output when in the middle of a GEMDOS call.

But you have a lot of other options:

- Use another DEBUG_DEVNO in mint.cnf, to direct output to the printer
  or to a serial port (using a nullmodem connection to another computer)
- Install xconout2.xdd, and open TosWin2's console window
- Press Ctrl-Alt-F8 to re-display the last (at most) 50 lines of
  error/debug messages

Then add

exec U:\usr\bin\printf \033v

to your mint.cnf to enable line wrap.

Hope all this will help in receiving more feedback, now :)


Ciao
