Trying to cram a full explanation in 40 characters is insanely frustrating.

I felt that it would be inhumane not to show script warnings and
errors by default, yet we should suppress script errors in existing
games by default to prevent a flood of error messages from causing
interruptions.

We could modifying twochoice to split messages into multiple lines,
and write a better prompt message. I take it that the problem is
understanding what is being asked? Do you have any alternatives? Maybe
prompt instead when entering the general data or script menus?
