I found the error I was making and fixed it but am now playing with error
trapping. I am trying to capture the result of the error so I can format it
my way.

set theResult to (do shell script command)

This does not work. If it succeeds then it's ok. If there is an error, I can
use the "on error" but the actual error is not contained within theResult.
Is there a way around this?
