The error handling for FORM does not correctly handle when the second is negative. In particular, it throws a recoverable error, but it mostly ignores the output from :erract and (worse) does so in a way that actually outputs whatever :erract outputs.

Instead, FORM should accept a replacement for the negative input from :erract and behave as if it were run with that input instead.

Steps to Reproduce:

SHOW FORM 1.2345 5 2
MAKE "erract [5]
SHOW FORM 1.2345 [] 2
SHOW FORM 1.2345 -1 2

What Happens
The first instruction prints 1.23 .

The third instructions prints 1.23 because the [] is replaced with 5 that is provided by :erract.

The fourth instruction prints 5, which is :erract provided.

Expected Result:
The first, third, and fourth instructions all print 1.23.
