One way to do this, if you know exactly what keystrokes cause the error,
and you don't require feedback from the screen to know what you're doing,
is to run the screen with its output redirected to a file. Then when you
get your abort, all the error messages will go to the file, rather than
distribute themselves among your fields. Something like this should do the
trick:

  :run scrnprog > errfile
  <do whatever causes the abort>
  :print errfile

HTH,
