Ok, so a global exception handler is not difficult. Can you comment on the difficulty of implementing full treatment of exceptions? And will it have 'proper' try/catch syntax, rather than through a procedural interface? I would think the first is easier to understand. i.e. try <exception> --some code --exception_causing code --some more code catch <exception> --deal with it. end try OR == procedure catch() --deal with it. end procedure set_try("<exception>", routine_id("catch")) --some code --exception_causing code --some more code end_try("<exception>") Also, if we could define exceptions, it would be nice... :P ===================================================== .______<-------------------\__ / _____<--------------------__|=== ||_ <-------------------/ \__| Mr Trick
