Transiently replace the debug window with a printed debug message

First, turn on the debugger. Then run TestDebugToggler(). Even though FuncWithRTE() generates a run-time error, the debugger does not launch and a message is printed instead. Meanwhile, the functions continue executing. If you take out the call to UnDebug(), the debugger will catch the run-time error and pause execution. 

function TestDebugToggler()
	UnDebug()
	FuncWithRTE()
	PrintDebug()
	ReDebug()
end
 
function FuncWithRTE()
	make /o/n=101 test
	fft test
end
 
function UnDebug()
	DebuggerOptions
	newdatafolder /o root:Packages
	newdatafolder /o root:Packages:DebugToggler
	variable /g root:Packages:DebugToggler:debugOn=v_enable
	DebuggerOptions enable=0
end
 
function PrintDebug()
	variable err=GetRTError(1)
	if(err)
		print GetErrMessage(err)
	endif
end
 
function ReDebug()
	nvar /z debugOn=root:Packages:DebugToggler:debugOn
	if(nvar_exists(debugOn))
		DebuggerOptions enable=debugOn
	endif
end
