I personally tend to end up writing code *on the pocketpc* (usually when
I'm on the move somewhere, or in a  waiting room) - rather than for the
pocketpc. Because of this I usually use pocket notepad. Probably *not*
the best person to answer your question...

If you flick between other active tasks, you'll see the real traceback
in another window. (You'll need a task manager to do this).

I often use this to display output - print stuff to the screen and then
throw an error so that the :

	"<NULL>: <NULL>"

window hangs round for me to see the output in the other window...
