The sound commands are self-explanatory. - Minor fixes to the error handling system -- it is now impossible to redefine internal pointer gamevars. Some error messages also made more descriptive. - Fixed handling of bad CON files - Added "-condebug" command line parameter which prints one line to the init window per line compiled.
