hmm.  Good to know, I'll have to put that in the docs.

No good way.  Obviously I need to put in a redirect_errors method, too!

Not easily.  When I ripped off PBP to write twill, my intent was to
continue along the road of using it as a testing tool.  So stopping at
the first error it finds is what I intended.

There's no reason that I couldn't make that behavior optional, however;
I don't think it will be hard to put in, either.  I should be able to
get to it soon.

-> I really like the product now. Easy to use, fast and great support!

;)

thanks for your suggestions!
