Or you can use slang-2.0.7 for jed-0.99-18-- that would be my
preference.  I do not believe jed uses any slang-2.1 feature, e.g.,
qualifiers (<http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/doc/html/slang-9.html#ss9.8>).

In both cases, the RunTimeError exception is still present and as such,
the "Run-Time Error" message is accurate.

That's fine.
