How can I pause the vim error messages on launch?

vim

Solution

With `:messages`, you can recall previous (error) messages. (But be aware that Vim only keeps the last 200.)

Problem

I have an error in a `.vim` file, so when I run the command that loads that error, it flashes errors onto the screen for a ms before I can read them. I'd like to pause this display or lengthen the timeout so that I can read them.
