Apologies for my current posting frenzy ;-) Normal service will be resumed

Cheers. This is pretty close, I've just tried it out with suitably vile
colours to distinguish which instance of standard_error_message is being
used, and it does do the trick with everything except an invalid URL (404
errors).

For example a std_error_message in folder /foo/bar won't get used if
the requested URL is for /foo/bar/fred, but that shouldn't be too
difficult to solve by stepping back until something valid is found... I
would guess.

What you get is something which looks like a hybrid of the root standard
error page embedded within the default error page... 

You can also use standard_error_message instead of std_error_message -
they both have the same desired effect.

Cheers,

John
