How can I pause the vim error messages on launch?

Question

I have an error in a .vim file, so when I run the command that loads that error, it flashes errors onto the screen for a ms before I can read them. I'd like to pause this display or lengthen the timeout so that I can read them.

Answer 1

With :messages, you can recall previous (error) messages. (But be aware that Vim only keeps the last 200.)
