piping darkness into the wimp

Hi

Is there a idea for the following problem:

I use program for a interpreter, which should do Wimppolling.

If the interpreter fails (cause no memory left or the like), it prints a
message to vdu:

I want to catch such a message (the wimp will not show it) and a commandwindow
will not survive the initialisation of the wimp)

If i try to catch the message with a pipe    { > output }   the desktop 
goes dark (with a few icons) and the wimppoll will write into the file
and there is no multitasking

If i try to catch the message with spool, all actions in the wimp will 
logged into the outputfile (which may increase to big) (This will also
take time (especially on a diskette based system))

In my opinion, we need a errorstream (something like { 2> })

so long

ps: I use Riscos 2.0, the interpreter is iconx
