Thank you! INTERACTIVE is indeed a better parameter name; now renamed.

I'm not very interested in the exact mechanism used for actually displaying the messages to the user. As you have no doubt grown weary hearing by now, I would have preferred there not being any to show! The employed method (user-error) seemed to be simple and workable.  That it uses the error-signalling mechanism is coincidental.

This bug can probably be closed now. Further improvements will of course still be possible.
