That is also the case.

I have to look into this one in particular, are these compilation
errors, or the execution errors?

You can control where the error messages go by assigning a TextWriter
object to the InteractiveBase class's Output and Error properties.

It is not currently possible.   This requires some work on the
compiler to enable the feature.
