Topic: *Build Status* listing - readability

Would it be possible for SF's *Build Status* listing to put in some kind of a delimeter between successive error and warning messages?  I ask, because the listing's present form can be a little confusing.  The problem is that each 'error' entry is followed immediately by a 'source/filehandler' reference, so it looks as if the two belong together.  But they don't.  The 'error' entry refers to the 'source/fileandler' reference several lines above.

                          1
Error: Syntax error in CLOSE statement at (1)
Source/FileHandler.for:942.21:

      IF(dlgopenfile (F%Path,

Re: *Build Status* listing - readability

John,

While it wouldn't be a trivial change, I think it could be very useful to add this feature.  I could see if it could be added in 2.29 since 2.28 should be released in the next day or two.
