Request:
When writing or updating a JS module, if you're going to "throw" an exception, please throw an Error object (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error) rather than a string.

Do this:
        throw new Error('something bad');
Not this:
        throw('something bad');

This allows the location (file name and line number) of the error to be displayed and logged in the upper layers (e.g. sbbs).

There are other *Error constructors too, if you prefer to throw one of those.

Thanks!
