Huh??  The article is about modifying the contents of a DTML method and 
introduces the exception-related variables that you may be most interested 
in.  It also explains some common usage of standard_error_message.  Toward 
the end it mentions the significance of one command line switch and notes 
what conditions can't be changed without breaking into the source... but 
the first 3-4 sections are exactly the information you need.  One thing it 
takes for granted as obvious is that standard_error_message is just an 
ordinary DTML method.  Pretty much anything you can do in DTML can be done 
in standard_error_message.

Open up the standard_error_message in the root of your ZMI, read it 
carefully and take another look at the article.
