Error effects on scripts

Most errors will not abort a running script. The only time a script is aborted is when a Lua run-
time error (error number -286) is detected. Run-time errors are caused by actions such as trying
to index into a variable that is not a table. Syntax errors (error number -285) in a script/command
will not technically abort the script, but it will prevent the script/command from being executed.
