Hello,
I wrote an OO System for Mathematica. The program has 900 lines. I had the
same problem as you, but now I found out the following:
If the following statement is executed:
$MessagePrePrint = (Print["Error -> Quit"]; Quit[])&;
the program is finished, when the error message is prepared. Otherwise the
program does not finish and it is difficult to find the statement in error.
If the program has no output, you have to insert Print statements, to see,
what was executed and what was not executed.
