Error notification

List of error messages

Basin can report errors exactly as the original Spectrum would have done - by clearing the two lower lines of the Display Window and writing the error there. This tends to corrupt the display, which can be annoying if you were working in that area using PRINT # or INPUT #, for example. The list of checkboxes here represents all the error messages that Sinclair BASIC can produce.

Error messages in the list that are checked will be displayed in the Error window when they occur. Those that are unchecked will overwrite the bottom two lines of the screen display (as on a real Spectrum).

Move editor cursor to error

If this box is checked, the editor will automatically move the cursor to the line and statement where the error occurred.
