Par2: Message hooks
2011-04-25 -- Graham Dawson

There is a set of system properties that allow you to get one of your 
procedures called in place of the built in Message, Halt, Stop and Fatal 
Error dialogs.
Then you can do what you want.

system{prop:messagehook} = address(MyMessage)
system{prop:halthook} = address(MyHalt)
system{prop:stophook} = address(MyStop)
system{prop:fatalerrorhook} = address(MyFatalError)

where MyMessage etc are procedures that will override the built in dialogs 
typically logging errors to a file and deciding whether to contiue or not.
Procedure declarations must match those of the built in versions.

for Message
(STRING,,,,UNSIGNED=0,UNSIGNED=0),UNSIGNED 
(input_text,caption,icon,buttons,default,style)

for Stop
()
(input_text)

for Halt
(UNSIGNED=0,)
(errorlevel,input_text)

for FatalError
(STRING ,UNSIGNED)
(input_text,errornumber)
