Something like: "Discard breakpoint, rather than mark it pending?" is a guess. The real problem here is with batch scripts, the change breaks existing script behavior (which is never a good thing). How about this, we introduce: nquery() yquery() where the default (batch mode, and when return is pressed is n/y respectively). We'd need the language police to look over the interface but should otherwize be ok. Andrew PS: There's a GUI bug here also. The query doesn't contain the error message (cf my recent change to internal-error where I made certain each query contained the full context of the question).
