none of the above can be translated by Clipper. Unfortunately we
inherited from xHarbour WITH OBJECT syntax where :<msg> is used.
It causes that I couldn't replicate exact Clipper behavior because
such simple code will not work:
   WITH OBJECT errorNew()
      ? :canRetry
   END

But this introduce some incompatibilities.

Why not drop it in Harbour?

Are there people out there who would be greatly inconvenienced? If so, perhaps some alternative like:

    WITH OBJECT errorNew()
       ? -:canRetry
    END

which uses the hyphen as a kind of visual placeholder.
